“We believe in the power of music to create connections, shape celebrations and enhance homes,” said Doug Diemoz, Chief Executive Officer of Crate and Barrel. “Music moves people. At Crate, we wanted to create a space for long-time collectors and those new to vinyl to kick back, relax and enjoy some of the best music of the past 75 years.”
The Listening Room at Crate and Barrel is designed to peak to the entertainer, the musician, the collector and the designer, building a space within the home that takes on its own identity.
Ideal for listening and home entertaining, collection highlights include U-Turn Audio‘s Orbit Plus Turntable and Audioengine A2+ Speakers, Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphones, vinyl storage solutions, richly textured arm chairs and rugs, and unique decorative accessories. Prices range from $19.95 to $1799.00. Spanning decades and genres, the Capitol Records 75th Anniversary Collection draws from the label’s storied archive and features remastered vinyl recordings from noted artists ranging from Miles Davis, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra and The Beatles to Beck, Katy Perry and Sam Smith.
“My first record was The Beatles’ “Abbey Road.” Nothing beats the authenticity of hearing it again on vinyl, as it was originally intended, for what feels like the first time,” concluded Diemoz.
The collection was unveiled at a cocktail party held in Capitol Studios’ legendary Studio A in the iconic Capitol Tower.
