Guy Schraenen Book order

As creative talents began to design record sleeves, the standard 30 x 30 cm album cover came to be an especially attractive object. Now vinyl has an almost mythic character and real historical value. 'Vinyl' is a detailed catalogue of the collection held by the Archive for Small Press and Communication in the Neues Museum Weserburg in Bremen, which includes not only records and CDs but also books, posters and other objects.

With the extension of artistic expression into the realm of sound and the creation of records and their sleeves, innovative works of great esthetic quality began to appear. This catalogue includes not only vinyls and CDs but also books, posters and otherobjects related to music and sound works
