"Far from being yesterday's fading, forgotten format, vinyl
records have survived and flourished as the music medium of
choice for not only baby-boomers, but all ages. Every record a
collector acquires comes with a story of its own, and the
recent Covid-19 lockdowns prompted many vinylholics, including
Sharpe, to look more closely at their reasons for collecting,
take stock of existing collections and rediscover old
favourites. ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival
includes interviews and contributions from voices across the
record industry - shop owners, record company insiders, online/
postal sellers, auction organisers, market traders of vinyl,
amateur collectors - who share their stories with candour,
warmth and humour. A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music
and social history that will appeal to anyone who vividly
recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives
pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting
you back in time.
