Vinyl by Mike Evans
This history of the LP is a must-have for any music connoisseur When vinyl LP records took over the music industry in the late 1950s, a new era began. No longer bound by the time constraints of the shellac 78s that had been in use since the 1910s, recording artists could now present an entire album--rather than a lone three-minute single--on a vinyl LP, giving listeners a completely new way to experience their music. In recent years, vinyl has found a second life as an art form, collected and appreciated by music connoisseurs across the world. Vinyl: The Art of Making Records examines the origins of the vinyl format and its evolution throughout the 20th century, and also provides an in-depth look at how vinyl LPs are manufactured and packaged--often with striking artwork that makes them beloved by music enthusiasts today. Also included are four removable art prints, each representing a sample of album covers from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.Mike Evans began writing about music in the 1970s, presenting a weekly show on local radio and contributing to the famous UK music weekly Melody Maker. He was a musician in the 1960s R&B and rock scene. He is the author more the bestselling Woodstock: Three Days that Rocked the World (2009, revised 2019), as well as commissioning and editing hundreds of books on popular culture.
