Stupendous book on the passions of collecting, in this case collecting old shellac discs that spun at something like 78rpm. Petrusich is an adept interviewer, with grace and a sense of humor, and like her subjects, she catches the bug and starts chasing 78s as well. Most amazing? Read why she took SCUBA diving lessons in Brooklyn so that she could dive into a part of the Milwaukee River. Now THAT's dedication!
I love records, so that's why I wanted to read this book. I discovered so much more. It offers a great insight into early American blues music and delved into the minds of collectors. Anyone willing to learn to scuba dive to search a merky cold river in search of old 78's is both a lover of rare records and a little nuts! A great read!
A great piece of true journalism, where the author actually does research, goes places, talks to people and gives interesting history as well as a peek behind the scenes with some of the most intense collectors. Got this book hoping to learn more about the hundreds of 78s (probably none rare I’m afraid) I’ve inherited, and ended up getting some insight about why we collect to begin with.An interesting read for collectors of anything.Thanks, Amanda!- @davefromny
Excellent book; Goes hand in hand with'Chasin' That Devil's Music, Searching for the Blues' by David Fulmer.After reading this book and after all these years...I now know and better understand my own affliction.
Talk about obsessions: the lengths she goes to to tell the story of these collectors - fanatics shows her commitment to the subject. Should appeal to anyone who has the collecting bug. As a record collector I could relate.
If you like the "old, weird" music from an America now long gone--like Harry Smith's "The Anthology of American Folk Music", "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of" (plus the sequel "The Return Of..."), and all the various box sets collecting early country blues and other then contemporary music--you will find this book of interest.It's simply one person's attempt to search out and begin to understand why (and who are) these people who collect old 78 RPM records with a detective's zeal and sometimes deep pockets. You'll come across collectors who are pure collectors--never paying much for a dirty, dusty, easily breakable shellac covered piece of history. Or others who buy low and sell high. But they all have one thing in common, to find these records before they disappear forever. What information the author gleans from her subjects is told in a witty, easy to read style.The book isn't perfect. The portion where the author, Amanda Petrusich, learns to scuba dive in order to search a river for old metal stampers or records themselves takes up too much space. But it's when she talks about going on a hunt with a longtime collector to a dirty, greasy swap meet in search of 78 RPM treasures where the book becomes interesting. Or her descriptions of some of the more (relatively) notable collectors (a difficult feat), the artists, the record labels, and her descriptions of hearing some of these long lost recordings for the first time that makes this book eminently readable. Some of these collectors are very private, "quirky", and sometimes suspicious of other collectors or anyone interested in what they collect. But Petrusich goes behind the surface and gives the reader at least some idea of why these people do what they do with such a fervent passion.Another interesting chapter is when Petrusich goes in search of original 78 RPM records from Harry Smith's collection. Smith put together "The Anthology of American Folk Music" set (now reissued by the Smithsonian) and if you've never heard this collection of music from the years 1927-1932 you need to. If you like "American music", this is it. It's revered by many well known musicians for giving them insight into different musical forms. Smith's choice of, and the recordings themselves, have a strange kind of wild magic about them. It's haphazard in contents--certainly not all-encompassing--but what's there you need to hear. And it's a sometimes strange listening experience, because I too had this happen to me, as related in the book--"...it's the weirdest thing, every time you listen to it...you think, 'Wait, was that song there before?'". It has that kind of an effect. But if you don't own this collection you're music library has a hole in it. Check it out.I found myself liking this book the more I got into it. If you're a music collector or a deep music lover (like me) you'll recognize the feelings generated by the collectors in the book. The thrill of finding a long lost 78 RPM treasure, and the agony of your hopes dashed when your search is in vain and you come away empty handed. So if you find something special in hearing some old scratchy Paramount recordings (now issued on CD) or anything else that (usually) sounds like it was dragged over rocks and through the dirt, this book will give you a pretty good look into what it's all about.
A wonderful description of the human condition (or at least a part of it). Both funny and well written/presented. Author did a lot of research that was fascinating to read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, both collector and non-collector alike.
Most people know a little about vinyl, but few (including myself) know much about the world of 78s. This books takes you into this world and helps make sense of the obsession without making freaks of the odd cast of characters. Highly recommended.
