Inasmuch as it has no competing titles,
And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of Our Vinyl is destined to become a classic of its kind.
Authors
Roger Bennett and
Josh Kun were recently
interviewed on
NPR about their journey collecting and annotating their book of album covers. It's particularly worth listening to for the clips from the albums themselves.
While these images may suggest a certain
kitschiness to the project, the book seems to be a legitimate labor of love. As the authors note, they were searching for answers to questions about
thorny topics like their own Jewish heritage and why so many of these vintage records were available in
Boca Raton.
