Description: "Without Paul Major I would know nothing about all the great records people know nothing about." - Marc Maron
Brief description: Paul Major was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1954, placing him squarely in the generational path of rock and roll's mighty wave: fuzz guitar first blew his mind at age 12, and he hasn't looked back since. After stints playing in bands in St. Louis and Los Angeles, he moved to New York in 1978. 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.
