Taschen "Extraordinary Records" (9783836595001)

Taschen "Extraordinary Records" - product description "Extraordinary Records" is a fascinating visual encyclopedia dedicated to the most extraordinary vinyl releases in music history. Created in collaboration with Colors magazine, the book presents over 500 unique records from the collection of Alessandro Benedetti and Peter Bastine. The book celebrates vinyl not only as a sound medium, but above all as an art form and an expression of the visual identity of artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Prince, and Michael Jackson . On its 472 pages, we discover a wealth of forms: from colored and transparent records, through engraved and fluorescent examples, to imaginative shapes that transcend the classic circle. A highlight of the album is the documentation of so-called "bone music"—illegal Soviet records pressed on X-ray images. Embark on a kaleidoscopic journey through the history of musical design. Also, check out our other pop culture albums and books.
