Vinyl The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Recent years have seen not just a revival but a rebirth of the analogue record. More than merely a nostalgic craze vinyl has become a cultural icon. As music consumption migrated to digital and online this seemingly obsolete medium became the fastest-growing format in music sales. Whilst vinyl never ceased to be the favorite amongst many music lovers and DJs from the late 1980s the recording industry regarded it as an outdated relic consigned to dusty domestic corners and obscure record shops. So why is vinyl now experiencing a ‘rebirth of its cool’?Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward explore this question by combining a cultural sociological approach with insights from material culture studies. Presenting vinyl as a multifaceted cultural object they investigate the reasons behind its persistence within our technologically accelerated culture. Informed by media analysis urban ethnography and the authors’ interviews with musicians DJs sound engineers record store owners collectors and cutting-edge label chiefs from a range of metropolitan centres renowned for thriving music scenes including London New York Tokyo Melbourne and especially Berlin what emerges is a story of a modern icon. | Vinyl The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Labels Making Independent Music

The music industry is dominated today by three companies. Outside of it thousands of small independent record labels have developed despite the fact that digitalization made record sales barely profitable. How can those outsiders not only survive but thrive within mass music markets? What makes them meaningful and to whom? Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward show how labels act as taste-makers and scene-markers that not only curate music but project cultural values which challenge the mainstream capitalist music industry. Focusing mostly on labels that entered independent electronic music after 2000 the authors reconstruct their aesthetics and ethics. The book draws on multiple interviews with labels such as Ostgut Ton in Berlin Argot in Chicago 100% Silk in Los Angeles Ninja Tune in London and Goma Gringa in Sao Paulo. Written by the authors of Vinyl this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the contemporary recording industry independent music material culture anthropology sociology and cultural studies. | Labels Making Independent Music

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Released in 1952 the Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist musicologist and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932 the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs ballads old and new dance music gospel and numerous other performances less easy to classify. Where previous collections of folk music both printed and recorded had privileged field recordings and oral transmission Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence however it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians artists and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—The Anthology was our bible asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991 We all knew every word of every song on it—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology. | Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

How Britain Got the Blues: The Transmission and Reception of American Blues Style in the United Kingdom

This book explores how and why the blues became a central component of English popular music in the 1960s. It is commonly known that many 'British invasion' rock bands were heavily influenced by Chicago and Delta blues styles. But how exactly did Britain get the blues? Blues records by African American artists were released in the United States in substantial numbers between 1920 and the late 1930s but were sold primarily to black consumers in large urban centres and the rural south. How then in an era before globalization when multinational record releases were rare did English teenagers in the early 1960s encounter the music of Robert Johnson Blind Boy Fuller Memphis Minnie and Barbecue Bob? Roberta Schwartz analyses the transmission of blues records to England from the first recordings to hit English shores to the end of the sixties. How did the blues largely banned from the BBC until the mid 1960s become popular enough to create a demand for re-released material by American artists? When did the British blues subculture begin and how did it develop? Most significantly how did the music become a part of the popular consciousness and how did it change music and expectations? The way that the blues and various blues styles were received by critics is a central concern of the book as their writings greatly affected which artists and recordings were distributed and reified particularly in the early years of the revival. 'Hot' cultural issues such as authenticity assimilation appropriation and cultural transgression were also part of the revival; these topics and more were interrogated in music periodicals by critics and fans alike even as English musicians began incorporating elements of the blues into their common musical language. The vinyl record itself under-represented in previous studies plays a major part in the story of the blues in Britain. Not only did recordings shape perceptions and listening habits but which artists were available at any given time also had an enormous impact on the British blues. Schwartz maps the influences on British blues and blues-rock performers and thereby illuminates the stylistic evolution of many genres of British popular music. | How Britain Got the Blues: The Transmission and Reception of American Blues Style in the United Kingdom
