Sound Practices: A Journal of Audio Technology
$550.00 Add to cartJoe Roberts
Alexandria and Austin: Sound Practices, 1992-1997.
A complete run in 16 issues of the audiophile journal Sound Practices edited by Joe Roberts. “…hands-down the hippest and most controversial hi-fi ‘zine, reverses the common belief that the hi-fi gear of the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s sucked and that modern components sound superior. This mag argues just the reverse: that ever since the gritty transistor replaced the smooth-sounding tube, the sound of hi-fi systems has steadily gotten worse instead of better. .. Lest you think that a bunch of guys into ’30s retro-tech are old freaks, the Sound Practices mob is made up of swashbuckling techno-anarchists who range from members of the avant-garde NY art scene to many of the most well-respected minds in international hi-fi. And the articles range from the highly technical to wildly imaginative think pieces.” (Wired, 1st December 1994) -

Belfast Punk: Warzone Centre, 1997 – 2003 (Deluxe Edition)
$650.00 Add to cartRicky Adam
Bologna: Damiani Editore, 2017.
The deluxe edition, limited to 15 copies, with an original signed and numbered photograph by Ricky Adam. “The Warzone Collective began in 1984 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, when a few local punks decided to consolidate their efforts and find their own venue, practice, and social space. In 1986, the Collective opened Giros, its first premises in Belfast, which contained a vegetarian cafe, practice space, and screen printing facilities. It soon became a focal point for anarchists and punks. In 1991 the Collective moved Giros to a larger and more ambitious venue, the spot where all of the photographs in this book were taken. Over the years, thousands of people passed through Giros’ doors. A strong D.I.Y. ethic defined the way gigs and events were organized. It didn’t have an alcohol license, and it was an all ages venue. The Warzone Centre, or The Centre as it was called by some, became the countercultural hub for the greater Belfast area and beyond. Bands from all over the world played there, and it was famous for being one of the best in Europe for D.I.Y. punk. The photographs in this book were taken between 1997 and 2003. Toward the end of 2003, the Centre closed, leaving a huge gap in radical Belfast culture. It reopened in 2011, in a different venue on the opposite side of town and is still going strong today.” (publisher’s blurb) -
