One of the most exciting music trends in recent years has been the roaring resurgence of the vinyl record format. Enthusiasts worldwide now are rediscovering the magic of music — on cozy and (sometimes) crackly LPs.
Join author Christopher Long as he rummages through garage sales, thrift stores, and flea markets along Florida’s sunny Space Coast (and beyond) in his pursuit of vinyl treasure — for "a song."
Based on his popular weekly Ink19.com column, Garage Sale Vinyl offers Long's lively analysis of his favorite seasoned album finds.
Each of the 50 chapters is devoted to a different classic album — enhanced by Long's feel-good stories and peppered with related commentary from an array of such famed music artists as Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and Foghat co-founder Roger Earl, as well as celebrated media names, including FOX News personalities Jimmy Failla and Kat Timpf.
The foreword was penned by rising arena rock star, Bella Perron — guitarist for the band, Plush.
