VARIOUS ARTISTS Put The Needle On The Record (In the 1980s,
music defined the moment: "Video Killed the Radio Star" ushered in
MTV, "Don’t You (Forget about Me)" ruled The Breakfast Club, and "I
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For" became the anthem of a
generation. But the era was not just about its distinctive music; it was
also the most visually provocative era of the last millennium. Every
new vinyl single hit the stands wrapped in an eye-catching sleeve that
reflected the latest trends. Put the Needle on the Record: The 1980s at
45 Revolutions Per Minute is pop-culture historian Matthew Chojnacki’s
definitive guide to seven- and twelve-inch vinyl single artwork from
the ‘80s. This 272-page hardback book compares more than 250 vinyl
single covers that represent nearly every prominent ‘80s musician.
However, this is not just a pop-cultural feast for the eyes. From
hundreds of hours of interviews, Chojnacki allows the designers and
visual talent behind Madonna, Prince, Pink Floyd, Queen, Adam Ant,
Iron Maiden, The Clash, Pet Shop Boys, Van Halen, and more to tell
the unheard stories behind the decade’s most iconic images. Coupled
with exclusive commentary from more than 100 of the ‘80s biggest
musicians, including Annie Lennox, Duran Duran, Run-DMC, Devo,
The B-52s, Erasure, The Human League, Scorpions, The Knack, and
Yoko Ono, this is an authoritative journey back to the songs and
images that continue to influence our culture.) See More Info...
