In his series “World Records” Schaefer draws from Rolling Stone Magazine’s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” photographing the original vinyl pressings of iconic record albums throughout music history on the turntables they would have first been played on. Now numbering over 100 images, “World Records” moves through pop chart legends with Rock ‘n’ Roll icons like AC/DC, David Bowie and Pink Floyd; heart throbs like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to more experimental pioneers like The Velvet Underground and Kraftwerk.  As “World Records” methodically catalogues an era when the experience of listening was more physical and tactile, it is also contemporary with the resurgence of audiofiles elevation of the vinyl pressings as art objects. Schaefer pays tribute to these unforgettable analogue sounds and aural experiences highlighting each groove, label and tone arm so these images become tangible – subtly audible in their nostalgia.
