Rezensionen
"A passionate ode to the analogue record, and testament to how vinyl embodies the content it mediates, with each record's unique journey etched into the material - The Times Higher Education - Hillegonda C. Rietveld Bartmanski and Woodward have created a masterpiece that any record lover should have on their shelves - Record Collector magazine Vinyl is a state-of-the-art treatment of an unforgettable object and medium that raises many of the issues central to contemporary anthropology.

It will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in auditory and material culture as well as vinyl fans - or those who want to become such. - Information, Communication & Society - Anne-Kathrin Hoklas Bartmanski and Woodward ... provide meticulous detail as to how materiality matters ... Bartmanski and Woodward divide their book into chapters that fervently trace various aspects of vinyl: its history, its functionality and use as a medium, its production and physical properties, and its consumption. In each chapter, they attend to the materially mediated cultural meanings within which vinyl is entangled. - Qualitative Sociology - Robin Bartram [This] book has much to recommend it. The authors have a fine grasp of the complex and overlapping issues that are involved in establishing vinyl's status as a 'special object' ... [A] fascinating analysis of the format's 'meaningful circulation'. - Popular Music Picking up the story from a cultural and sociological angle, Ian Woodward and Dominik Bartmanski have written what might well be the first modern history of the humble vinyl record since its exponential surge back into the public imagination. - The Vinyl Factory Vinyl is an essential study of a residual technology's new lives and meanings in the digital age. ...

Hearing music is not enough, the authors suggest, and many younger people (especially those who can't read notated scores) yearn to hold their music in their hands ... Bartmanski and Woodward's Vinyl is a work of sociology. It is to their credit that the epilogue affirms their training and practice as sociologists, and that my last impression of them is as sturdy academics. - Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal - Alyssa Barna, Eastman School of Music Bartmanski and Woodward have written an impassioned book that will surely resonate with analogue enthusiasts and that may even inspire new vinyl diggers.
