Item #: BK945
Price: $8.95
In today's day and age where CD players and huge sound systems are the norm, its refreshing to sit back and take a look at the old ways of listening entertainment. This book describes the development of the domestic talking machines from the early phonographs and the first gramophone, to the fine "musical furniture" of the 1920s. It also covers the complex early development of the record industry to the birth of the grooved vinyl disc - sound recordings last descendant. The countless vintage black and white photographs lend a nostalgic air and illustrate the development of talking machines throughout the years. So sit back and let this great new book take you back to the days of yesteryear.
