Sonoton 60th Anniversary book
« on: March 22, 2026, 09:12:47 PM »
This may be of interest to some on here - S60, the mini coffee-table book marking 60 years of the Sonoton library is available from the designers:

store.discopogo.co/merch/559493-disco-pogo-sonoton-60

It's not cheap, unfortunately, but it's got some nice bits in it, like an interview with Gerhard and Heidi Narholz, mini biogs of some of the composers, a discography etc - a lot of stuff about the library business in the 21st century too, which while not my era at all is fairly interesting from a business perspective!

Hurray, happy 60th anniversary to Sonoton. Let's go guys.

It's not cheap, unfortunately, but it's got some nice bits in it, like an interview with Gerhard and Heidi Narholz, mini biogs of some of the composers, a discography etc - a lot of stuff about the library business in the 21st century too, which while not my era at all is fairly interesting from a business perspective!
Not cheap, huh? Yeah, i agree, but not that expensive neither. It's just a mid-range balanced price, so it's neither cheap nor expensive in my opinion. Also, if i'm not mistaken, then in my country, if i convert $45 to Indonesian Rupiah, it's as nearly as Rp765.000 according to my research.

Apology in advance for that, but it is my opinion on that. :)

It's a joke, Yohannes. Don't worry. As explanation, in England there is a belief that people from Yorkshire have a reputation for being "careful" with their money. 😂 😂

Was at Vinylcon this last weekend and was given one for free by the APM guys. It helped that I brought over a big stack of library LPs that I picked up to their table lol. Need that TeleMusic book though...
