“Some books give up what they have speedily. But there’s something about this one that might just be inexhaustible…Next to fond memories of stinky ’70s NYC and essays by like-minded devotees, Major’s free-form purple-prose record catalogues make for hypnotic reading”–MOJO
Paul Major has lived resolutely on the vanguard of musical culture for nearly a half-century; as a pioneering record collector turned eminent rock and roller, his influence is vast, far-reaching and woefully unsung – until now. Feel the Music traces Paul’s singular trajectory from his early days in the Midwest, through his years in the New York punk scene, and headlong into his trailblazing career as a connoisseur of the weirdest records of all time. Illustrated throughout with unseen photographs from Paul’s personal scrapbook and eye-popping rare record covers and animated by Paul’s witty, inimitable storytelling style, Feel the Music is a deluxe tour through the farthest-out reaches of rock and roll history. The book includes a 7″ vinyl record from Paul’s band Endless Boogie.
