Vinyl was supposed to be dead - and we were all set to be curating our own Spotify playlists. But, as is clear from creaking-at-seams record-pressing plants in the Czech Republic to purveyors of beach-glass vinyl in Big Sur; things haven't quite panned out like that.

Independent record labels appear to be flourishing like never before, riding the wave of the vinyl renaissance and using the internet to sell direct to thirsty customers. Music did get free, but, in truth, it was the major labels that suffered. In 50 Record Labels to Save Your Life, Ian Preece sets off on a road trip across Europe and America to try to get behind the scenes (and sounds) of the independent music industry today. 50 Record Labels to Save Your Life is a celebration of sleeves, records, good taste, and all independent music.

About the Author

Ian Preece was a commissioning editor for Victor Gollancz and Orion for nearly two decades. These days he works as a freelance book editor and occasional ghostwriter, writes for Caught by the River and plays records all day. DJ opportunities aren't what they were, but you can catch 'Third Light Home' on Seeks Music. He has written for When Saturday Comes and is the author of The Heyday of the Football Annual (with Doug Cheeseman), as well as Stats, Records & Rock 'n' Roll (with Daniel Tatarsky).
