Enjoy the Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992

In the current issue of Rolling Stone, Sinecure's awesome new book on American homemade records gets a four-star review, while Spin writes, "People can create the most amazing things when no one else is telling them what to do. In the sumptuous new book Enjoy the Experience: American Homemade Records 1958-1992, editors Johan Kugelberg, Michael P. Daley, and Paul Major have collected more than 1,000 of the wildest, weirdest, sweetest, and coolest vanity vinyl covers, all of which were made to accompany music recorded and released by private individuals. Some of the music deserved to be heard by wide audiences; lots of it, if we're being frank, didn't. But in all cases, the unfettered personality evinced by the cover images offers a look at an alternate and previously hidden universe of American music." Featured images is the cover of Frank Vignola's Hi… I’m Frank Vignola, produced in Islip, New York by Banjazz Productions, 1979. For a slideshow of additional covers, visit the book page.
