I've just finished reading parts of a new book from Scarecrow Press titled "Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices and the Fate of Things", which is a collection of essays - two of which have to do with sound recordings. One of them covers four reissue lables including ARSC members Lance and April Ledbetter and their Dust to Digital label. I'm not thrilled with the book as it is a bit too esoteric and looks at record collecting as cultural anthropology, but I thought I'd mention it. Anyway, in the essay the author mentions a website where he collects images of vinyl collectors in their collections and I went there. Otside of Joe Bussard (who really is more of a 78 collector than vinyl) I didn't recognize anyone else. I wondered why out illustrious member Mike Biel isn't featured with HIS collection! Anyway, some of these folks could possible candidates for ARSC Membership. Have a look. Here is the site: http://www.dustandgrooves.com/ Steve Ramm
