The recordings collected here across 500 pages are artifacts of a media  universe that no longer exists, created - against very high odds - in a  world in which both the means of production and the means of  distribution were held as near-complete monopolies by the established  industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe subjects of ‘Enjoy The Experience’ range from lesbian folk  singers to psychedelic disco bands, awkward teen pop combos to pizza  parlor organists, religious cult leaders to swank Sinatra imitators. But  this is not a novelty freak show; also profiled and discussed are some  of the most highly regarded rock, soul, jazz, funk and singer \/  songwriter albums from the latter half of the Twentieth Century. From  the awkward-yet-talented to the genius-yet-bizarre, one thing unites all  musicians presented here: they sincerely hoped to become stars, they  committed themselves to record, and they left themselves vulnerable to  an industry not understanding of nuance, nor appreciative of character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Enjoy The Experience’ includes an introduction by editor Johan  Kugelberg, a lengthy overview by legendary rare record dealer Paul  Major, and commentaries with hundreds of reviews and over fifty  biographies by noted enthusiasts and collectors like Gregg Turkington,  Will Louviere, Brandan Kearney, Geoffrey Weiss, Jack Streitman, Eothen  Alapatt, Rich Haupt and Mike Ascherman. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig Tip!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: \" trebuchet ms\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: \" trebuchet ms\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books \u0026 Magazines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36680271855774,"sku":"Enjoy The Experience","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0465\/5477\/5710\/products\/enjoytheexperience.jpg?v=1604063475","url":"https:\/\/morrison.be\/en-uk\/products\/enjoy-the-experience","provider":"Morrison","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
