Record Collector Geek Karma - book giveaway
« on: 16 Jan 2017, 04:29 am »
Giving away a copy of Josh Rosenthal's book "The Record Store of the Mind," signed by the author.  Josh is a long-time music industry veteran and the founder of Tompkins Square Records.  The book is "part memoir, part 'music criticism,' the author ruminates over unsung musical heroes, reflects on thirty years of toil and fandom in the music business, and shamelessly lists some of the LPs in his record collection."

It's a fast read, and I got turned on to some little known artists whose music I have since acquired.  Lots of material on old/forgotten artists and music, and very enjoyable for the record collecting geek in all of us.

The usual drill -- select a number from 1-60, I will select a random number on Monday morning 1/23.  Closest number (without going over, a la "Price is Right") wins.

P.S. A pointer to the book on Amazon, in case you want to learn more about it:  https://www.amazon.com/Record-Store-Mind-Josh-Rosenthal/dp/1625179138/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484541012&sr=1-1&keywords=the+record+store+of+the+mind

It's an image I found from a web site discussing guitar amps and the superiority of tubes.....

OK - but what Robin says is still bit of a mystery!  :lol:

Number is 23.  By "Price is Right" guidelines (see official giveaway details), the winner is Mix4fix (there were two #19s selected, Mix4fix was the first).  Please PM me your mailing address and I will send the book along to you post-haste.

Thanks,  -dB
