Vinyl by Mike Evans
Vinyl: The Art of Making Records is a celebration of the medium's fascinating history and triumphant rebirth. From weighty 78s to feisty 45s, from eccentric Eps to legendary long-players, it brings vinyl off the shelves and out of the crates. The book will spotlight the development of the discs themselves; pioneering lalles such as Columbia, RCA Victor and Atlantic; ground-breaking artists and their game-changing releases such as Sgt Pepper by the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam; the idiosyncratic and iconic packaging developed by daring designers and the special collectors editions like messages scratched in run-out grooves, limited editions, picture discs and deluxe reissues.MIKE EVANS is the author of Neil Young€ ” The Definitive History (Sterling, 2012), The Art of BritishRock (Frances Lincoln, 2013), Woodstock€ ” Three Days That Rocked The World (Sterling, 2010), BowieTreasures (Carlton, 2014), The Beatles€ ” Literary Anthology (Plexus, 2004), the acclaimed The Art Of The Beatles (Frederick Muller, 1984), and Elvis: A Celebration (Dorling Kindersley, 2002), a bestselling collaboration with the Presley estate.
