Eilon Paz’s 416-page coffee-table book illuminates over 130 vinyl collectors and their collections in the most intimate of environments — their record rooms. With a foreword by the RZA, compelling photographic essays are paired with in-depth interviews to illustrate what motivates record collectors to keep digging for more records.

Readers get an up close and personal look at a variety of well-known vinyl champions as well as a glimpse into the collections of known and unknown DJs, producers, record dealers, and everyday enthusiasts. The book is divided into two main parts: the first features 250 full-page photos framed by captions and select quotes, while the second consists of 12 full-length interviews that delve deeper into collectors’ personal histories and vinyl troves.

Nothing heavy this time, just a song for the impending solstice. (Weezer: Island In The Sun. // Link see first comment). I put on my new white “sunny state” top and run through the rooms.

Dangerous: „Feng Shui gegen das Gerümpel des Alltags.“ Eine halbe Stunde quergelesen löst tagelanges gnadenloses Aussortieren aus. Es sind nur ein paar vollkommen überzeugende Grundgedanken über Energie.
