As an early private press and “real people” record collector turned eminent, underground rock ‘n’ roller, his influence is felt if not heard all around us—until now.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeel the Music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etraces Paul’s trajectory from his formative days in the Midwest, his years in the late ’70s New York punk scene, and into his curious career as a connoisseur and campaigner of the weirdest records of all time.

After stints playing in bands in St. Louis and Los Angeles, he moved to New York in 1978 and spent the next few years embroiled in the city’s explosive punk scene (most notably as part of the proto-speed metal band the Sorcerers). All the while, he found himself cultivating an extensive knowledge of rare and bizarre LPs. As his expertise in obscure collecting grew, Paul began a mail-order LP business, and his catalogs soon became must-reads for their mixture of hard-won crate-digging knowledge and witty, one-of-a-kind music writing—holy texts for psychedelic lifers the world over. Starting in 1997, Paul put his decades of experience to work as the singer and guitarist of the band Endless Boogie, whose skewed, no-frills take on rock has renewed his status as a preeminent voice on the farthest, weirdest margins of popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeluxe Edition includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst edition book, Signed by the Author\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLimited edition Silkscreened Slipcase\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCompanion Book featuring Selections from Paul’s scrapbook (112 pages)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7.25 inches x 7.25 inches Letterpress Print Signed by Artist Lizzi Bougatsos\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthology Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617307902253,"sku":"184923603026","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/5802\/8845\/files\/197449.jpg?v=1700604099","url":"https:\/\/mexicansummer.myshopify.com\/products\/paul-major-feel-the-music-deluxe-edition-184923603026","provider":"Mexican Summer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
