Book Synopsis
Explore New York's vibrant vinyl scene with this tribute to 33 1/3 of the city's favorite record shops, as captured by acclaimed photographers James and Karla Murray. Spanning all 5 boroughs, these havens have become essential to the cultural fabric of the city, bringing together communities through a shared passion for music. This book takes readers on a journey through New York City's iconic record shops, celebrating their history, character, and cultural significance. Featuring stunning new photographs by James and Karla Murray, it captures the vibrant exteriors, intimate interiors, and countless musical treasures that make these shops special. Detailed profiles penned by journalist Hattie Lindert reveal the stories behind each location, with insights from the owners and founders about their passion for music and the communities they serve. From the punk rock legacy of Generation Records in Greenwich Village to the jazz treasures of Manhattan's Jazz Record Center; the Latin music heritage of Casa Amadeo in the Bronx, and the rare finds at Brooklyn's Human Head Records; the book showcases the diversity and richness of NYC's vinyl culture. It also includes profiles on legendary local musicians who frequent these stores, including producer and rapper Large Professor, DJ and nightclub owner Eli Escobar, and DJ and music supervisor Kristine Barilli. Designed with colorful elements inspired by record shop ephemera, it's a must-have for music lovers and vinyl collectors alike.About the Author
