Into the Groove. Vinyl Cult: The History of the Record

The vinyl record has often been declared dead. Now, in its 75th year, it's experiencing a grand revival. It's not just tech nostalgics who remain loyal to their medium; the Spotify generation is also succumbing to the charm of its quiet crackle. For "In the Groove," five experienced music journalists have pooled their combined knowledge and, in nearly 200 pages, guide you right into the multifaceted history of the LP.

In five chapters, they compile everything worth knowing—from technical developments to label knowledge, from stars to collectors' markets. With iconic record covers and legendary shops, the volume presents the entire universe of a fascinating culture. Illustrated with a wealth of historical and contemporary images, this comprehensive reference work leaves no questions unanswered.
