Synopsis
This electrifying vinyl edition creates a new and edgy definition for “album art.” Produced in collaboration with Colors magazine, it brings together more than 500 remarkable records from the collection of Alessandro Benedetti and Peter Bastine and from the Wende Museum in Los Angeles.
This book forms a junction between photography, music, and design, celebrating vinyl for the integrity of sound recording and its artistic potential as a material form. With featured artists including Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, and beyond, it offers compelling insight into the most intricate details of a performer’s visual identity, from a vivid color to a futuristic mirror effect.
The discs are arranged thematically to span monochrome vinyl; unusual vinyl (including silver, gold, or mirror vinyl as well as extremely rare glow-in-the-dark vinyl); multicolored vinyl; etched vinyl (where music is pressed onto only one side); shaped vinyl (cut into forms that are different from the classic round disc); and picture discs (where a photograph or design is stamped onto the surface of the record).
In addition, there is a rare view into the records known today as “ribs” or “bone music.” Produced in the USSR, where western music and culture were forbidden, these were made by engraving discarded x-rays with special machines and creating bootleg disks of hit singles of artists such as David Bowie and Pink Floyd.
Page after page, this kaleidoscopic encyclopedia of innovative and ingenious vinyl is a colorful journey through era-defining records and artists.

About the Authors
Alessandro Benedetti began collecting colored and unusual records in 1981, and now has 8,000 discs, including 1,200 colored vinyl discs. In 1998 his collection won recognition in The Guinness Book of Records. His dream is to open a record museum so he can share his collection with the public.
Italian producer and songwriter Giorgio Moroder helped create electronic dance music, and has worked with Donna Summer, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and many others. He also founded Musicland Studios in Munich, once used by legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Elton John.
Peter Bastine has been a DJ, record seller, and concert organizer. From 1977 until 1998 he collected every kind of picture disc; since then, mostly historical 78rpm records. Today his collection comprises around 8,000 picture discs, and has been the subject of several European exhibitions.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der inspirierende Band rund um Vinyl definiert »Album Art« ganz avantgardistisch. Das in Kooperation mit dem Colors Magazine entstandene Werk versammelt über 500 erstaunliche Schallplatten aus der Sammlung von Alessandro Benedetti und Peter Bastine. Das Buch ist eine Schnittstelle zwischen Fotografie, Musik und Design: eine Hommage an die Schallplatte als Tonträger sowie an ihr künstlerisches Potenzial als Objekt. Durch Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi und andere erhalten wir faszinierende Einblicke in die visuellen Identitäten dieser Künstler - von lebhaften Farben bis hin zu futuristischen Spiegeleffekten. Die Platten sind thematisch geordnet: einfarbiges Vinyl, ungewöhnliche Exemplare, polychrome Varianten, Etched-Vinyl-Pressungen, Shaped Vinyl und Picture Discs. Darüber hinaus liefert das Werk seltene Einblicke in einen Bereich, den wir heute als »Bone Music« bezeichnen. Jene Tonträger wurden in der UdSSR produziert, wo westliche Musik und Kultur verboten waren, indem man ausrangierte Röntgenbilder mit speziellen Maschinen gravierte. Das Ergebnis: Faszinierende Raubkopien der Hitsingles von David Bowie bis Pink Floyd. Diese kaleidoskopische Enzyklopädie über zukunftsweisendes Vinyldesign ist Seite für Seite eine farbenfrohe Reise durch epochale Platten und Werke stilprägender Künstler. (Text dt., engl., frz.) 472 pp. Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch. Seller Inventory # 1474960
