Wax Trash and Vinyl Treasures: Record Collecting as a Social Practice
The term 'record collecting' is shorthand for a variety of related practices. Foremost is the collection of sound recordings in various formats - although often with a marked preference for vinyl - by individuals, and it is this dimension of record collecting that is the focus of this book. Record collecting, and the public stereotypes associated with it, is frequently linked primarily with rock and pop music. Roy Shuker focuses on these broad styles, but also includes other genres and their collectors, notably jazz, blues, exotica and 'ethnic' music. Accordingly, the study examines the history of record collecting; profiles collectors and the collecting process; considers categories - especially music genres - and types of record collecting and outlines and discusses the infrastructure within which collecting operates. Shuker situates this discussion within the broader literature on collecting, along with issues of cultural consumption, social identity and 'the construction of self' in contemporary society. Record collecting is both fascinating in its own right, and provides insights into broader issues of nostalgia, consumption and material culture.

Climbing the Rock
Despite its small scale, the NZ music industry is a useful example of the tensions that exist between the centre and the periphery in the global music industry. It also provides a test case of the validity of cultural imperialism thesis, and illustrates debates over the nature of local and cultural identity vis-a-vis trends towards globalisation in the culture industries
