ON THE RECORDs : Notes from the Vinyl Revival
Vinyl Shops around the World - Book - by Graham Sharpe
(2024)
Far from being yesterday's fading, forgotten format, vinyl records have
survived and flourished as the music medium of choice for not only
baby-boomers, but all ages. Every record a collector acquires comes with
a story of its own, and the recent Covid-19 lockdowns prompted many
vinylholics, including Graham Sharpe, to look more closely at their
reasons for collecting, take stock of existing collections and
rediscover old favourites. Vinyl Countdown followed Sharpe's journey
to over a hundred record shops across the globe, from Amsterdam and
Angus, to Bedfordshire and Budapest, Tennessee and Wellington.
Now, ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival explores the impact of
recent global events on the record industry and considers the reasons
why vinyl remains a beloved - and booming - format. It includes
interviews and contributions from voices across the industry - shop
owners, record company insiders, online/postal sellers, auction
organisers, market traders of vinyl, amateur collectors - who share
their stories with candour, warmth and humour. A mesmerising blend of
memoir, travel, music and social history that will appeal to anyone who
vividly recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives
pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting you back
in time.
