A Word from the Artist, Raymond Biesinger
“There’s a subgenre of my work that I call 'collecting things and putting them in grids,' and here the 'things' are 99 Canadian 45 RPM record labels made between 1955 and 1975, all collected by fanatic record collector Sam Shulman. We selected them with an eye for geographic diversity (almost every city in Canada is represented here), aesthetic merits (the Apex Records logo makes our knees weak), and our subjective ears (to hear the Haunted’s '1-2-5' is divine), and then I retouched and arranged these beauties in a way that let them sing. Genres include garage, psych, soul, R&B, and pop."
