Transmissions Podcast :: Paul Major / Favorite Reissues of 2017

Welcome to Aquarium Drunkard's recurring Transmissions podcast. In the first half of this month's episode, we tune into a discussion with Paul Major, legendary record dealer and frontman of Endless Boogie.

Earlier this year, we published an interview with Major and he played selector on the Aquarium Drunkard Show on Sirius XM, pulling out rare psych, private press oddities, and much more. He's the subject of a new book, Feel The Music: The Psychedelic Worlds of Paul Major, and the compiler of an accompanying soundtrack, Feel the Music Vol. 1, both out on Anthology. The book compiles scans of Major’s rare record catalogs, which featured his hallucinatory music writing, alongside essays by his friends, bandmates, and collaborators. In all, the book and soundtrack illustrate Paul’s attraction to “real people” music and testify to his desire to share the weird music and ideas that turn him on.
