Jonny Trunk and FUEL present A-Z of Record Shop Bags - a publication
celebrating the humble record store bag. This exhaustive collection
of the record shop bag provides a unique perspective of record shopping
in the UK over the last century, bringing together over 500 incredible
bags (some possibly the only surviving examples) to document the
fascinating story of British high street record shopping. Bags from
famous chains such as NEMS, Our Price and Virgin (the amazingly rare
Roger Dean bags), sit alongside designs from local shops run by
eccentric enthusiasts.
Packed with stories such as the first
Jewish ska retailer, the record sellers who started the premier league,
famous staff (David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Morrissey, etc.) and
equally infamous owners, these anecdotes of mythical vinyl entrepreneurs
will entertain and delight. With vinyl record sales at their
highest ever for decades (outselling CDs in the US), this publication
acts as an amazing insight into the history, culture and visual language
of record collecting. Following Own Label, Wrappers Delight and Auto
Erotica - A-Z of Record Shop Bags: 1940s to 1990s is the next book in
the series by Jonny Trunk and FUEL, examining overlooked aspects of our
collective past.
