The culture of the "Record Stores" a photo book by Bernd Jonkmanns
Fascinating photos of 160 record stores from all over the world. Hamburg photographer Bernd Jonkmanns has been documenting the culture of record stores since 2009. At the beginning of his project, it looked as if there would hardly be any stores left within a few years, and indeed many record stores have disappeared over the years. At the same time, however, vinyl has been experiencing a rapid comeback among enthusiasts for some time now. As a result, many new small and large stores have opened in major cities such as Berlin, Brussels, Paris and Los Angeles, preserving the importance of the record store phenomenon as an expression of youth culture.
Over the last six years, Jonkmanns has photographed over 160 record stores in 33 different cities on his travels across 5 continents. His pictures show colorful facades, stores filled to the ceiling with vinyls and CDs and the people who work in record stores and buy their music there. They all share a love of music - and that is what gives the record stores their unique atmosphere.
His search for the most beautiful "record stores" took Jonkmanns through five continents and numerous cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, San Francisco, Paris, London, Brighton, Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, Oslo, Amsterdam, Sydney and even as far as Hobart, Tasmania.
