You know the covers. You’ve seen them millions of times, and they continue to captivate upon every gaze. But what is behind those marvelous covers, encased in voluptuous black wax? Admittedly, we hang our heads in shame for saying this, but there are several albums from the past few decades we’ve seen on record store shelves and in ‘top ten’ lists year after year, but have yet to experience for ourselves. More precisely, we’ve never listened to these records in any shape or form.

The world needs more books. It also needs more books about vinyl records and their collectors…

Vinyl record blog Dust & Grooves currently has a Kickstarter campaign going on to fund their first book about vinyl collectors and their amazing collections, and they are getting super close to their goal. Check ‘em out and throw a few bucks their way so this book can get published. Because D&G’s articles are concise, thoughtful, entertaining and quite engaging, it would be a tragic shame to see this project not come to fruition.

Follow D&G on twitter for progress on their Kickstarter campaign, as well as for future installments of D&G.

All set to continue with vintage vinyl coverage starting Tuesday, February 7th. The review blog site got a bit of a face lift, and will now include audio samples of Classic Waxxx review material. I know this doesn’t sound really cutting edge or anything, but it’s a big win for the writers!

New reviews posted every Tuesday here.
