I've got some money tied up in Barnes & Noble gift cards and I need some recommendations on music/vinyl/record collecting-related books from you guys. Let me know what your favorite music/vinyl/record collecting related books are.... and what books to stay away from (there are always duds!) Reference material is valid too! We all benefit from a good library!

  • Is that a rega turntable?

  • @EzaVinylAddict Yes sir! Good eye. It is a Planar 3 that I purchased in the very late 90s. Love it!

  • The Lives of the Great Composers by Harold C. Schonberg

  • @reaganrvltn Yes, a "classic," no pun intended.

  • I love Barnes & Noble too. I'm a bit prejudiced because I just received my 10-year pin from the store here in Manchester NH. Favorite books I read recently are Richie Unterberger's "Turn Turn Turn" and "Eight Miles High", a 2 volume set on the folk-rock revolution. Also recommended is "Soulsville U.S.A." by Rob Bowman about Stax. Stay away from Eric Burdon's autobiography 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'. I couldn't even finish it.

  • @MrPlatypus9 ... as in ten years of service? If so, that's cool! I've always romanticized running a little bookshop, even worked at a local used and rare one for a little while. Thanks very much for the recommendations!

see all

  • @wertsdb71 Great table I have a Rega Planar 3 as well! Bang for buck not many compare to it! Cheers!

  • @VinylConvert Good suggestion.  Thanks very much for watching and commenting!

  • @wertsdb71 i haven't read any books on the music i enjoy except what accompanies the cd and/or album. i just got into the various artists' compositions, lived with their music, and that's all i've ever done.

  • @nevarism Thanks very much for the suggestion. That would certainly fill a hole in my book coverage, for sure!
