A selection of records from 1985-1990 with accompanying reviews, ads, and ephemera.

Picking up where the first book in the series left off, this third volume offers an in-depth examination of the various records and surrounding ephemera that were produced between 1985 and 1990 related to hardcore and punk in the United States.

Like earlier editions of Record Aficionado, this volume is a treasure trove of subcultural design history. Whether you're an avid record collector who craves visual catnip, a punk exploring American hardcore history, or a graphic designer interested in the vernacular/DIY design of subcultures and the specific visual aesthetics of hardcore and punk, this collection offers plenty to consider.
