A-Z of Record Shop Bags by pop culture expert collector Jonny Trunk is a visual celebration of the shopping bags produced by British record stores between the 1940s and the 1990s. This acclaimed book is illustrated with over 500 examples of this previously unrecorded aspect of popular culture.
The humble record shop bag provides a graphic history of the British record shop. The huge and inspiring collection of original and rare paper and plastic carrier bags collected and displayed in these pages derive from large chainstores to hidden basements and – with a cast of famous staff and eccentric owners – bring the visceral history of music shopping to life.
With a foreword by Jon Savage.
