A-Z of Record Shop Bags:1940s to 1990s Jonny Trunk

£19.50

Jonny Trunk and FUEL present A-Z of Record Shop Bags – a publication celebrating the humble record store bag.

Jonny Trunk takes you on a trip – back in time – to the comforting ephemera we never realised had disappeared from our everyday lives, which, with his prompting, we remember with enormous fondness. He triggers memories about stuff you’ve seen in films, sounds you’ve heard – shops you passed on the bus. To say that Jonny collects ephemera would be part of the story, defined as ‘collectable items that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity’, in his case, it’s not about short term thrills – he’s collecting for a purpose, and he’s collecting lots of things, in this glorious book he focuses on his collection of carrier bags. And a very particular selection – they were produced by British record stores from the 1940s to the 1990s.
