Taylor & Francis Ltd Vinyl A History of the Analogue Record
Book SynopsisVinyl: A History of the Analogue Record is the first in-depth study of the vinyl record. Richard Osborne traces the evolution of the recording format from its roots in the first sound recording experiments to its survival in the world of digital technologies. This book addresses the record''s relationship with music: the analogue record was shaped by, and helped to shape, the music of the twentieth century. It also looks at the cult of vinyl records. Why are users so passionate about this format? Why has it become the subject of artworks and advertisements? Why are vinyl records still being produced? This book explores its subject using a distinctive approach: the author takes the vinyl record apart and historicizes its construction. Each chapter explores a different element: the groove, the disc shape, the label, vinyl itself, the album, the single, the b-side and the 12 single, and the sleeve. By anatomizing vinyl in this manner, the author shines new light on its impact and appeal.Trade ReviewA Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013 Special Mention, 2013 IASPM Book Prize.

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012 Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services 'Hats off to the excellent Richard Osborne for producing a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable romp through the musical history of polyvinyl chloride... The author has produced a valuable collection of sound bites and snapshots of what the 20th century sounded like.' Times Higher Education '... a well-written and thoroughly engaging précis of vinyl’s journey from its origins to its constantly shifting presence throughout the 20th Century.' Record Collector '... Richard Osborne has just released the most perfect book: a history of vinyl that does not neglect aesthetic or interpretative considerations, but focuses also on hard facts, and pays attention to technology, and economics... Osborne’s book proves a fascinating and essential read, and an elegant one at that.' InMedia 'Richard Osborne has produced a concise, readable, and well-researched historical study of the vinyl record. The text is not overloaded with scholarly apparatus, although Osborne supports his argument with quotations from primary sources... Vinyl would be an excellent addition to large public libraries as well as academic institutions that teach popular music and the history of recorded music.' CAML (Canadian Association of Music Libraries) Review '... a thoughtful discussion of the relationship between human senses and the physical aspect of records that makes them enduring objects of cultural interest... a fine introduction to both the history of recorded sound and the cuTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 The Groove; Chapter 2 The Disc; Chapter 3 The Label; Chapter 4 Vinyl; Chapter 5 The LP; Chapter 6 The 45; Chapter 7 The B-Side and the 12” Single; Chapter 8 The Sleeve; conclusion Conclusion;
