What do Burt Reynolds, Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn, The Dallas Cowboys and John Travolta have in common? At some point in time, they, and so many others, all decided to record horrible albums! In Celebrity Vinyl, Tom Hamling, owner of the worlds biggest and best celebrity vinyl collection, humorously examines what happens when famous people decide to (unsuccessfully) give singing a try. Join him on this personal tour of his kooky passion as he critiques the celebrities in question, as well as the photography, typography, art direction and album copy that make each and every one of these album sleeves so curiously compelling. Celebrity Vinyl serves as a pop-culture microscope that reveals the nuances and blemishes of vinyl and celebrity cultures from a bygone era that will make you laugh more now then you did back then!
