“Broken Records: 1960 – 1969”, is an artist book that documents one 45rpm for each year of the1960s, presented in a unique accordion style limited print edition of 500. The selection of the 45rpms is almost random (as if rescued from oblivion), yet accurate in its portrayal of the times as history tends to skip the left over, the unspectacular, and the minor hit, the kind of details that may provide a richer understanding of the moment in question. On one side of the accordion foldout are pictures of the records, on the reverse side each record is documented, citing band members and singers, production and label information, its position in record industry charts, and its place in Pop Music history. Additionally there are sidebars about each year of the 1960s in world history, and a running commentary about the recording industry, pop culture, ownership rights, marketing and the 1960s as a significant turning point in youth culture.
