About Me



"The Proustian power of a piece of black vinyl, a beautiful sleeve, even a label name - Studio 1, Verve, Transatlantic, Imperial, Regal Zonophone, Postcard ('the sound of young Scotland') - can be intense and, at times, almost overwhelming. ... Can a downloaded album, floating free of its artwork, its context, its paraphernalia, ever contain that sort of mystery?

I think not. People need things."
-Sean O'Hagan
