Description

Richard King's memoir blends music writing to recall the debauched glory days of independent record shops. In the early 90s, vinyl was on the brink of extinction, and with it, the unique landscape of these stores began to erode.

The author reflects on the likes of Captain Beefheart, CAN, and Julian Cope, weaving a narrative that captures the essence of this bygone era. King's writing is both personal and elegiac, offering a poignant tribute to a lost world.
