{"product_id":"long-player-goodbye","title":"Long-Player Goodbye","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor nearly 60 years, since the arrival of the long-playing record in 1948, the album has provided the soundtrack to our lives. Our record collections, even if they're on CD, or these days, an iPod, are personal treasure, revealing our loves, errors of jugdement and lapses in taste. \u003cbr\u003eSelf-confessed music obsessive, Travis Elborough, explores the way in which particular albums are deeply embedded in cultural history, revered as works of art or so ubiqitous as to be almost invisible. \u003cbr\u003eBut in the age of the iPod, when we can download an infinite number of single tracks and need never listen to a whole album ever again, does the concept of an album still mean anything? \u003cbr\u003eTHE LONG-PLAYER GOODBYE is a brilliant piece of popular history and a celebration of the joy of records. If you've ever had a favourite album, you'll love Travis Elborough's warm and witty take on how vinyl changed our world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260253557080,"sku":"9780340934111","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780340934111_41ffedd7-9d93-4ec4-810d-448a77edca0c.jpg?v=1771971329","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/long-player-goodbye","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
