Initially created to add new colors and flavors to the sound of the electric guitar, effects pedals are so much more than just mere tools of the trade. Many stompboxes have become collectible, valuable, highly-fetishized objets d'art, often prized as much for their looks, quirks and history as for their basic sonic properties.Photographer Eilon Paz and writer/editor Dan Epstein-the creative team behind Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World's Greatest Guitarists-have scoured the globe in search of some of the rarest, weirdest and most iconic stompboxes in existence, and Vintage & Rarities: 333 Cool, Crazy and Hard to Find Guitar Pedals is the eye-popping result. From primitive fuzzboxes and one-off prototypes to whimsical boutique creations and elaborate multi-effects units, Vintage & Rarities presents these incredible pedals in lustrous, exquisitely-detailed photographs, along with informative captions about their origins, construction and use.Vintage & Rarities also features profiles of 25 pedal collectors from the USA, England, France, Belgium, Portugal, Russia and Japan-including legendary musicians Adrian Belew, Henry Kaiser and David Torn, Beastie Boys producer Mario Caldato Jr., and celebrated pedal builders Oliver Ackermann (Death By Audio), Mike Piera (Analog Man) and Josh Scott (JHS)-all of whom share their personal tales of stompbox addiction, while offering additional insight into these fascinating devices.Vintage & Rarities will amaze, amuse and delight anyone who digs cool stompboxes-many pedals here have never been seen before, even by the most hardcore collectors-and it may even inspire an obsessive search for some vintage treasures of your own!

The Bronx Is Burning meets Chuck Klosterman in this wild pop-culture history of baseball's most colorful and controversial decade. The Major Leagues witnessed more dramatic stories and changes in the '70s than in any other era. The American popular culture and counterculture collided head-on with the national pastime, rocking the once-conservative sport to its very foundations. Outspoken players embraced free agency, openly advocated drug use, and even swapped wives. Controversial owners such as Charlie Finley, Bill Veeck, and Ted Turner introduced Astroturf, prime-time World Series, garish polyester uniforms, and outlandish promotions such as Disco Demolition Night. Hank Aaron and Lou Brock set new heights in power and speed, Reggie Jackson and Carlton Fisk emerged as October heroes, and All-Star characters like Mark "The Bird" Fidrych became pop icons. For the millions of fans who grew up during this time, and especially those who cared just as much about Oscar Gamble's afro as they did about his average, Big Hair and Plastic Grass serves up a delicious, Technicolor trip down memory lane.
