Highbrow TVA

Highbrow - The Vinyl Age is the fourth edition of Highbrow. We take a look at the history of popular music from the early 1950s, when Rock ‘n’ Roll first emerged as an identifiable genre, up to the mid-1980s, when the compact disc finally overtook the long-playing vinyl record as the preferred medium of sound reproduction.

The Vinyl Age is a little more light-hearted than earlier editions of Highbrow, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. You’ll still need a great memory and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject.

We hope you enjoy playing, and we hope The Vinyl Age inspires you to pull out those old LPs and listen to those fabulous tracks all over again.
