PHILOSOPHY OF VINYL (HB)

A celebration of vinyl - sleeves, sides played, the rites of needles, fluff and cleaning cloths, the smells of records and their covers. There are also nuggets of technical information to satisfy hi-fi enthusiasts and plenty of quirky trivia on classic records, labels, recording studios, pressing plants and cover artwork to delight novices, newbies and nostalgia-dwellers of all ages, and to send them back to their records with renewed affection.
