Vinyl Lives II Praise for Vinyl Lives II: "There are many reasons that the world needs a book like Vinyl Lives II. Sure, it's great to have another compendium of watering holes where we record geeks can imbibe. But more importantly, we get regaled by the tales and the passion from those who created these cultural oases. Let's face it, as collectors we chase this stuff as much for the stories we can tell versus the sounds in the grooves. In that sense, James Goss has certainly delivered to us true believers another double shot of our baby's love...so drink up!" --Terry Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer Record stores profiled in Vinyl Lives II include the Electric Fetus (Minnesota), Dusty Groove (Illinois), Criminal (Georgia) and Jerry's (Pennsylvania). The stories of nine record collectors--all from different areas in the United States--are also included.  Praise for the first Vinyl Lives: "A fascinating glimpse into the mindset of folks sufficiently crazy and persistent to own record stores in the face of the Internet download juggernaut." --writer/producer Michael Fremer, "It's a Vinyl World After All" Chronicling the histories of 25 independent record stores, the first Vinyl Lives features chapters on Amoeba Music (California), Bop Street Records (Seattle), Cheapo (Cambridge, MA), Goner (Memphis, TN) Louisiana Music Factory (New Orleans) and Tower Records.
