Featuring over 550 graphically arresting record-shop bags, plus informative, humorous histories of the stores and their famous staff, this book reveals a previously undocumented side of British popular culture
This exhaustive collection of record-store bags provides a unique perspective on record shopping in the UK over the last century, bringing together over 500 incredible bags (some possibly the only surviving examples) to document the fascinating story of British high street record shopping. Bags from famous chains such as NEMS (where the Beatles were customers), Our Price and Virgin (the amazingly rare Roger Dean bags) sit alongside designs from independent stores run by eccentric enthusiasts. Packed with stories such as the first Jewish ska retailer, the record sellers who started Britain’s premier soccer league, famous staff (David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Morrissey) and equally infamous owners, these anecdotes of mythical vinyl entrepreneurs will entertain and delight.
With vinyl record sales at their highest for decades (outselling CDs in the US), this publication acts as an amazing insight into the history, culture and visual language of record collecting. Following Own Label, Wrappers Delight and Auto Erotica, A–Z of Record Shop Bags is the next book in the series by Jonny Trunk and FUEL, examining overlooked aspects of our collective past. Jon Savage, author of the classic 1981 punk history England’s Dreaming, provides a foreword.
Nostalgia enthusiast Jonny Trunk founded his record label Trunk Records in 1995, which specializes in releasing lost and archived recordings. He compiled and wrote The Music Library, documenting the hidden world of library music. His other books include Own Label, Wrappers Delight and Auto Erotica. Trunk also writes for a number of magazines and broadcasts every week on Resonance FM, London’s art broadcasting station. 9781916218482 Inventory Number: I00220415 -

(VAN HAMERSVELD, JOHN) (HENDRIX, JIMI). Van Hamersveld, John. Los Angeles: Pinnacle Productions, 1968. Edition Not Stated - Presumed First. 8vo. Printed Sheet. Concert Handbill. Very Good -.. One 8 ½ x 5 ½" paper sheet printed offset recto only. Artist turned Art Director John Van Hamersveld is responsible for some of the most iconic graphic images to emerge from California in the sixties and seventies. Raised in the surfing community of Palos Verdes, his teenage adventures with Mickey Dora, Dale Velzy, John Severson and childhood pal Rick Griffin led to his becoming the graphic designer for "Surfer" and "Surf Guide" Magazines at the height of the "Gidget" and Beach Party craze. In 1964 he created the timeless Day-Glo one-sheet for Bruce Brown's genre-defining film "The Endless Summer." After a stint at the famed Chouinard Art Institute, Van Hamersveld went on to create striking posters for Cream, The Who, The Velvet Underground, Traffic, and more for Pinnacle Productions' mid-sixties concerts at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium. The most iconic of these was his image of Jimi Hendrix sprouting wild, Medusa-like snakes from his Afro produced for the February 10th, 1968 concert featuring The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Soft Machine, The Electric Flag, and Blue Cheer. Van Hamersveld's colorful poster is perhaps the era's most recognizable psychedelic concert graphic from outside San Francisco. In addition to the full-sized poster, Pinnacle produced two handbills for the event. One with red ink on blue-green paper, and the other with orange ink on goldenrod. A handsome, well-preserved example of the exceedingly uncommon first printing of the blue-green variant showing a bit of age toning along with some trivial tape residue to the verso.

"Greg Foley, who had been collaborating with us on our cover designs since the day he graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, really went to town with this one. He sliced out every letter he fancied and created one gigantic collage that we then photographed and printed. The concept was exciting: The B from Harper's Bazaar and the V from Vogue could all appear on our cover, along with many other famous typefaces. In the end it even became a kind of guessing game: ''Name that logo.'' The only drawback was that for months after this cover was made, there was not a magazine, phone book, or cereal box in the house that didn't have a hole cut out of it. The holographic metallic foil stamping also made this one of our most memorable covers. As for the contents, we assigned each of the contributing artists a different letter of the alphabet. For the first time, the directions were very specific, but even so, many artists took the challenge and proceeded as if they had been given carte blanche".

THIS IS JOHN WALLOWITCH!!! VINYL LP - WITH A PHOTOBOOTH COLLAGE COVER BY ANDY WARHOL
(WARHOL, ANDY) (WALLOWITCH, JOHN). Wallowitch, John. New York. ND (1964).: Serenus Records Corp.. First Edition. Large Square 4to. LP in Illustrated Album Cover. Fine/Fine. One black vinyl long-playing phonograph record in a plain paper inner-sleeve, inside a 12 x 12" album cover printed black and white offset recto, and two color offset verso. Design by Irwin Rosenhouse. Cover Photograph by Andy Warhol. This is the very first recording issued by the late pianist, composer and lyricist John Wallowitch. Best known as one half of the Manhattan cabaret performing duo Wallowitch and Ross, his songs have been recorded by the likes of Tony Bennett, Blossom Dearie, Dixie Carter, Doc Severinson, and many others. He was also the brother of the late photographer Ed Wallowitch, a confidant and early Factory assistant to Andy Warhol. Art directed by noted New York designer Irwin Rosenhouse, Warhol collaged a series of photobooth images for its cover that capture the suited Wallowitch from his chest up to his mouth, cutting off any other identifying facial features (as well as making a non-issue of the pianist's baldness). The recordings consist of twelve show tunes and standards including "Swanee", "I'll Remember April", "Fly Me to the Moon", and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". The jacket is stamped "Stereo" on the verso in black ink, and is remarkably clean and fresh. A bright, most handsome example of this uncommon, early Andy Warhol item (entry number twenty-six in Paul Marechal's "Andy Warhol: The Record Covers 1949-1987 - Catalogue Raisonné," and cited on page 48 of Guy Schraenen's "Vinyl: Records and Covers by Artists") that predates his "The Velvet Underground And Nico" album cover by two years. PLEASE NOTE: The album's catalogue number SEP 2005 printed prominently on the rear cover has led some less well-versed observers to speculate that this is a reprint issued in September of the year 2005. It is not. It is the first - and only vinyl issue - released in 1964. Inventory Number: 027217

TADANORI YOKOO: GENKYO II -- WORKS
(YOKOO, TADANORI). Kokushokankokai, I00220315, 2022. 10 x 12 inches, 460 Pages. Hardcover. New.
Tadanori Yokoo held his first solo exhibition of paintings in 1966 in Tokyo. His revolutionary work, which oscillates between conceptual art and pure design, rapidly gained attention in the international art world. With a signature style of colorful psychedelia and pastiche, he engages a wide spectrum of modern visual and cultural phenomena from Japan and elsewhere. The subject matter often clashes with what seems a nonsensical collage of images. ‘Genkyo’ is an exuberant, far-reaching anthology of Yokoo’s work throughout the years, with a special focus on how the artist constantly revisits and remakes the same images and themes in a mind-blowing variety of styles and artworks. 9784336071019 Inventory Number: I00220315 -

101 ESSENTIAL ROCK RECORDS: THE GOLDEN AGE OF VINYL FROM THE BEATLES TO THE SEX PISTOLS - FIRST PAPERBOUND EDITION SIGNED BY AUTHOR JEFF GOLD
Gold, Jeff & Gene Sculatti. Berkeley & Los Angeles, CA: Gingko Press & Kill Your Idols, 2016. First Paperbound Edition. 4to. Pictorial Paperback. Music Monograph. As New.. 260pp, 443 color illustrations. Jeff Gold's "101 Essential Rock Records..." is a tribute to the vinyl album and celebrates one hundred and one of rock’s most influential records - from The Beatles’ 1963 debut "Please Please Me" through the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks". Alongside the big names such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and Fleetwood Mac are lesser-known but highly influential artists including Laura Nyro, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Captain Beefheart, and The Stooges. An essay on each album accompanies reproductions of the original vinyl cover artwork, with rare variations from around the world. Also included are thought-provoking interviews with musicians who discuss the albums and artists who changed their lives. Graham Nash describes meeting The Beatles at a 1959 talent show where they were billed as Johnny and the Moondogs, and how, four years later, John Lennon and Paul McCartney sang him the just written "Misery" - one voice in each ear. David Bowie speaks eloquently about the Velvet Underground’s influence, and Iggy Pop writes of the profound impact upon hearing Van Morrison’s no-holds-barred performance on the first album by Them, and his admiration for Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention’s "Freak Out", noting that opening for the Mothers "pushed me to be weirder faster". Additional contributions are from Jac Holzman (Elektra Records), Robyn Hitchcock, Nels Cline (Wilco), Susanne Vega, Jon Savage, Devendra Banhart, Mick Haggerty, Joe Boyd, Peter Buck (REM), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), and Ken Barnes. Also featured are pictorial explorations of Jimi Hendrix’s personal record collection and a survey of censored album covers from throughout the rock era". A brand new, pristine copy of the 2016 first paperbound printing of one of our favorite books of the past decade BOLDLY SIGNED "Jeff Gold" in black marker on the title page.

"Sittin’ In: Jazz Clubs of the 1940s and 1950s" is a visual history of jazz clubs during these crucial decades when some of the greatest names in in the genre - Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, and many others - were headlining acts across the country. In many of the clubs, black and white musicians played together and more significantly, people of all races gathered together to enjoy an evening’s entertainment. House photographers roamed the floor and for a dollar, took picture of patrons that were developed on site and could be taken home in a keepsake folder with the club’s name and logo.
"Sittin’ In" tells the story of the most popular club in these cities through striking images, first-hand anecdotes, true tales about the musicians who performed their unforgettable shows, notes on important music recorded live there, and more. All of this is supplemented by colorful club memorabilia, including posters, handbills, menus, branded matchbooks, and more. Inside you’ll also find exclusive, in-depth interviews conducted specifically for this book with the legendary Quincy Jones; legendary tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins; Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic Robin Givhan; artist, musician, and creative director of the Kennedy Center, Jason Moran; and Jazz critic Dan Morgenstern.
Gold surveys America’s jazz scene and its intersection with racism during segregation, focusing on three crucial regions: the East Coast (New York, Atlantic City, Boston, Washington, D.C.); the Midwest (Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City); and the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco). Its collection of ephemeral snapshots tells the story of an era that helped transform American life, beginning the move from traditional Dixieland jazz to bebop, from conservatism to the push for personal freedom.Inventory Number: E201122JGSI
