Neiman Marcus Brings The Original Legends To Your Record Player
Posted in Art, Luxury on 12 October 2008

45rpm-vinylsingle

Is originality still nurtured in times of stealing, piracy and re-mixing? Thanks to the joys of modern technology, people do not even hesitate for a single moment when clicking on that free download, it’s illegal by the way, or when duplicate copies are burnt on your computer’s CD writer. Yep, illegal music is everywhere.

Perhaps, now original will have a sacred space for once. Because don’t we always like to be different from the herd? Speaking in the same tune, what value will 100 Billboard charts in the form of a record have for us music lovers? Plenty of money, of course, and pride. After all, doesn’t a handwritten letter or card still reaches out to us in times of SMS-ing and e-mailing!

Too many questions, but the answer lies in the single, to-die-for grandcollection of music spanning over 1955 to 1990 represented by Neiman Marcus. The thirty-five year old collection is priceless, even more because they come in the traditional record format. So do hear it out for those 18,400 records.

Beatles, Elvis, Joplin, Hemdrix…just name the name and Marcus has it all for you. That too, in the original as you would find many records personally autographed by the famous singers themselves.

kamasutra guitar

When you play a guitar you need an inspiration- it can be the person you love or some one who you really admire. Would it be such a far fetched idea if the ancient Indian theory of love- Kamasutra comes to inspire you every time you play. Not a far fetched idea if you aske me, because now you can have The Kama Sutra guitar- that has beautiful illustrations from Kamasutra all hand-painted using an equally romantic natural paint- henna. These exotic brown illustrations are drawn on natural blonde Ash woodgrain.

It would be all the more exciting if you paint your hands with this natural tattoo- henna and play in any concert. You are sure to steal the show!
