EXTRAORDINARY RECORDS HC MULTILINGUAL EDITION

This volume spans more than 500 remarkable records and is a journey into vinyl's extraordinary history. From rare and colorful editions, bold shapes, and bootleg x-ray vinyl of the USSR to daring designs that fashioned the identities of era-defining records and artists, this volume celebrates vinyl's artistic potential as a material form. 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. 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).
