Vinyl: 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.
