Two artists/writers (and music nerds) Mike Dixon and Chris Auman, put their heads together to create this funny, nostalgic look at records of decades past. Part illustrated review zine, part perzine, Used Records and Tapes put the fun back in what is often a very boring and pretentious genre.
"We’re always going to need record stores and all that goes with them. And we’ll always need zines and bookstores too. This is a marriage of all of those things."
Used Records & Tapes #1 review zine
5.5 x 8.5 in. 40 pages, full color glossy cover, b&w throughout, stapled, 80 lb paper, 110 lb cover
"Part music zine, part perzine, 100% fun." —Liz Mason, Quimby’s Bookstore
You know when you go to a dude’s place for the first time and he just wants to tell you about every record he has, which is somehow every rock’n’roll record you didn’t want to hear, in turn, and how it was a sweet deal? This is kind of like that, except you can choose to shut it if you don’t want to hear about his complicated relationship with Aerosmith, and there’s no mattress on the floor. Of course, we all think we’re not the dude in question, and we all have been at some point or another, for better or for worse. Better to celebrate the sweet deals and hot wax together than not at all. –Jimmy Cooper, Razorcake
