As an early private press and ?real people? record collector turned eminent, underground rock ?n? roller, his influence is felt if not heard all around us?until now. Feel the Music traces Paul?s trajectory from his formative days in the Midwest, his years in the late ?70s New York punk scene, and into his curious career as a connoisseur and campaigner of the weirdest records of all time. Brought to life with unseen photographs, rare record covers, and cut n? paste ephemera from Paul?s long running mail order catalog, while animated by Paul?s storytelling, Feel the Music is a fanatical mystery tour through the further, outer reaches of music history. Alongside Paul?s writing, Feel the Music features essays by Johan Kugelberg, Jack Streitman, Michael P.

Each book also comes with a special Sorcerers and Endless Boogie split 7? vinyl record., Paul Major has lived resolutely on the vanguard of musical culture for nearly a half-century; as a pioneering record collector turned eminent rock and roller, his influence is vast, far-reaching and woefully unsung - until now.

Illustrated throughout with unseen photographs from Paul's personal scrapbook and eye-popping rare record covers and animated by Paul's witty, inimitable storytelling style, Feel the Music is a deluxe tour through the farthest-out reaches of rock and roll history.
