leonard 28th Mar 2024 | | BookJohan Peels - Meer! Meer! Meer! (2023) | ReviewMeer! Meer! Meer! (More, More, More) is a book about us: collectors, crate-diggers, hoarders, archivists, completists but above all about music lovers and record (cd, cassettes, 78's, vinyl) cabinets.
Compiled from over 200 articles that were issued in Dutch music magazine "Platenblad" (Recordmagazine) it gives us a rare view in basements, lofts, annexes, sheds and man caves of other persons and at the same time holds a mirror to the reader him/herself. And yes there is also an interview with three Dutch moderators of 45Cat from more than 10 years ago. How we've grown....
A very pleasant read.

leonard 11th Aug 2019 | | BookJim Dawson - The Twist (1995) | Please no international category! On cd world we're struggling a lot with this issue. Yes, there is a Canadian price on this book, but the book is from the USA. It's better to have the prices in the notes and that makes clear it was sold also in Canada. International will become a dustbin of all kinds of country combinations and messes things up a lot.

leonard 3rd Nov 2017 | | BookPeter Voskuil - Dutch Mountains (2017) | ReviewThe ultimate book about the Dutch record business. With 732 pages and lavishly illustrated this book tells the story and the highlights of the record companies, publishers, producers, arrangers and artists from 1878 to 2015. A simple recommendation: if you don't speak Dutch, it's worth learning it just for reading this. 10 out of 10

leonard 20th Feb 2017 | | BookJann Wenner - John Lennon (1972) | The cover of this book was designed by Dick Bruna, who sadly passed away this week. Not a household name, but world famous for one of his creations: Nijntje (better known around the world as Miffy). R.I.P. Dick, I fondly remember drinking coffee and talking with you almost every morning for fifteen years before we started working…..
