Backbeat Books
An in-depth and comprehensive guide to - and history of - music collecting,
The Ultimate Guide to Vinyl and More traces the hobby from its beginnings
over a century ago. The book features informative and entertaining sections
on every significant format in which recorded music has been released - and
some that are now almost completely forgotten. Based on Dave Thompson's
original Backbeat classic, The Music Lover's Guide to Record Collecting, this
revamped, colorful, expanded edition takes readers from the early days of
cylinders, 78s, and Edison records on through 45s, LPs, 8-tracks, cassettes,
bootlegs, CDs, MiniDiscs, MP3s, LPs, and other formats. Landmark
labels,collectable artists, specialist themes, and more are explored across a
series of essays, while dozens of color images bring the most obscure corners
of the hobby to life. Unlike other volumes that focus exclusively on vinyl,
this book caters to the audiophile whose obsession for music welcomes all
formats. Through it all, the joy and fascination of music collecting in all
its guises comes alive.
