“[C]reated with the help⟳ of architects Lee Mindel and Peter Shelton, Bond International Casino (or, simply, Bond's), which opens next month, promises to be the most memorable attempt⟳ at discophilia since Studio 54 opened three years ago.”

“A library ladder stood by the record⟳ shelves, and nearby was the gramophone, a quality modern intrument housed in a console. It had louvered doors to control⟳ the volume and direction of sound⟳, as in a church organ. I was smitten! I know⟳ that it was on that afternoon so long ago that I contracted incurable discophilia.”

“That insight extends to other musical forms and styles in the age of recording. One of the pleasures in reading Paul Gilroy, for example, is the revelation of his discophilia.”
