Once conduits to new music, frequently bypassing the corporate
music industry in ways now done more easily via the Internet,
record stores championed the most local of economic enterprises,
allowing social mobility to well up from them in unexpected ways.
Record stores speak volumes about our relationship to shopping,
capitalism, and art. This book takes a comprehensive look at what
individual record stores meant to individual people, but also what
they meant to communities, to musical genres, and to society in
general. What was their role in shaping social practices, aesthetic
tastes, and even, loosely put, ideologies? From women-owned and
independent record stores, to Reggae record shops in London, to
Rough Trade in Paris, this book takes on a global and
interdisciplinary approach to evaluating record stores. It collects
stories and memories, and facts about a variety of local stores
that not only re-centers the record store as a marketplace of
ideas, but also explore and celebrate a neglected personal history
of many lives.
