10 FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2012“Feels like a road trip with four best friends, toked up and punching the CD player and

outshouting one another about ‘the greatest danged record of all time … I mean ALL TIME!’”

MUST LIST“Are you a vinyl freak? Then you’ve found a soul mate in Gold, a renowned historian

and music collector who compiled this gorgeous book about seminal rock albums with essays from Iggy Pop and Suzanne Vega, among others.”

“Lavish and debate-provoking… The music and album art of that era holds meaning not just for people over 50 but also for younger people - for whom it seems impossible that

music was once delivered this way, with something so concrete, intimate and revelatory.”

“Could proudly sit on your coffee table, be picked up and admired by visitors who have come over for a quick drink and chat, or simply argue with what constitutes ‘essential’

or what doesn’t. This is the book for you. Recommended.”

“It may be a sacrilege, but the book will have fans running to a computer to download gaps in their collection.”

“Impressively produced eye candy… If you don’t have any of the 101 records listed, you’d better get busy getting some! But before you do, you should pick up this book.”

“Go get a copy of this big beautifully illustrated book and put it on a table where you can pick it up frequently and know what an art form once looked like.”
