The era of the LP began in 1967, with 'Sgt Pepper'; The Beatles
didn't just collect together a bunch of songs, they Made An Album.
Henceforth, everybody else wanted to Make An Album. The end came
only fifteen years later, coinciding with the release of Michael
Jackson's 'Thriller'. By then the Walkman had taken music out of
the home and into the streets and the record business had begun
trying to reverse-engineer the creative process in order to make
big money. Nobody would play music or listen to it in quite the
same way ever again. It was a short but transformative time.
Musicians became 'artists' and we, the people, patrons of the arts.
The LP itself had been a mark of sophistication, a measure of
wealth, an instrument of education, a poster saying things you dare
not say yourself, a means of attracting the opposite sex, and, for
many, the single most desirable object in their lives. This is the
story of that time; it takes us from recording studios where
musicians were doing things that had never been done before to the
sparsely furnished apartments where their efforts would be received
like visitations from a higher power. This is the story of how LPs
saved our lives.
