Record Collector Geek Karma - book giveaway

dburna · « **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.

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!

(No need to explain though.)
