A book about a passion, and the hipsters, oddballs and old heads who share it, written by one of their number, albeit a ludicrously erudite one' - Danny Kelly A revival of interest in vinyl music has taken place in recent years - but for many of those from the 'baby boomer' generation, it never went away. Graham Sharpe's vinyl love affair began in the 1960s and since then he has amassed over 3000 LPs and spent countless hours visiting record shops worldwide along with record fairs, car boot sales, online and real life auctions. \u003ci\u003eVinyl Countdown \u003c\/i\u003efollows his journey to over a hundred shops across the globe - from New York to New Zealand, Walsall to Warsaw, Oslo to Ozstralia, (old) Jersey to New Jersey - and describes the many characters he has encountered and the adventures he accrued along the way. \u003ci\u003eVinyl Countdown \u003c\/i\u003eseeks to reawaken the often dormant desire which first promoted the gathering of records, and to confirm the belief of those who still indulge in it, that they happily belong to, and should celebrate the undervalued, misunderstood significant group of music-obsessed vinylholics, who always want - need - to buy... just one more record. A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music and social history, \u003ci\u003eVinyl Countdown\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857303147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857303141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oldcastle Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020 pg. 98","brand":"Graham Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926660448511,"sku":"9780857303141","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_236bd7d0-f57a-4b77-88d1-5c7e2cc4a699.jpg?v=1681084310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vinyl-countdown-graham-sharpe-9780857303141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
