DESCRIPTION:
Muztafa Okzent said A must for vinyl junkies. This is a great book. A truly beautiful labor of love, it is packed to the gills with photos of famous and not-so-famous record collectors, their collections, and their favorite records. Paz's photography makes his subjects jump off the page, although sometimes a little too much so. Photographs are laid one on top of the other which creates an almost disorienting effect when looking at endless pictures of piles of records. With so much to look at in every single photo, I wish Paz had laid off this technique a littl. David M. Green said The LP As King. I used to manage a great music store on Long Island which is actually still there, even stronger than ever. So this book had me immediately as I once had a great deal of LPs at home, so there were a lot of similar looks throughout for me. More than just a handy book of collectors, there is a great deal here in ideas for collectors themselves and those that aren't.. "He absolutely love this book" according to Anna. This book was purchased for a friend/coworker who has become a record collector in the last few years. He absolutely love this book. He told me that he spends about two hours everyday with this book reading and researching online. He has enjoyed listening to the music that has been collected and understanding more about record collecting.
