Detailed and Beautifully Illustrated History of Britain’s Oldest and Longest Surviving Loudspeaker Company Now Available for Purchase at Retail
Celestion is very pleased to announce the availability of the new book, A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion, published to honour the company’s 100th anniversary celebration this year. This new historical volume is available to purchase at local retailers throughout the UK, EU and USA.
With a foreword written by Brian May of Queen, A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion is a detailed and engrossing history that tells how Celestion grew from being a two-man company building radiograms in a tiny factory in South- West London to become the internationally renowned loudspeaker brand it is today. Along the way, the book offers details on the rich history of Celestion, including devices that shot down flying bombs, instant beverage cartons, dancing in the Queen Mother’s living room.
Friday afternoon lingerie sales and toy ducks. All facts having very little to do with loudspeakers but all part of the rich and varied history of Celestion, Britain’s oldest and longest-surviving loudspeaker company.
An exhaustive compilation of detailed information extracted from Celestion’s extensive archives, along with stories gathered from contemporary newspapers and trade journal articles, as well as insider knowledge obtained from interviews with former and current employees, customers, and partners.
The result is this 228-page treasure trove of information that has been lovingly produced in full colour with a hard cover and more than 200 photos, illustrations and other images. A Century of Sound: The Story of Celestion is a fascinating insight into a true stalwart of the British audio industry.
