Description
Unwrap the paper cover, sniff the record, carefully place it on the plate, turn on the rotation...
Vinyl is a ticket to another world. Those who have fallen under its spell know that it is associated not only with various rituals but also establishes a whole specific culture.
What was the very first Czech record? How is playing records related to radio broadcasting? Who organized illegal fairs? And why is the record making a comeback in the era of digital technology?
Radek Diestler, in his book, pays off a debt to a phenomenon that has shaped entire generations of fans but has not yet received focused attention in our country. The vinyl record is not only the most important medium for preserving music in the history of mankind. It is also an artistic artifact, a cult object, a treasure, and last but not least, a magnet for stories.
