Zines, Pamphlets, Artists' Publications, and Chapbooks: The World of Self-Publishing & Small Press

Despite the rise of digital downloads and streaming music, contemporary artists and musicians are creating analog objects that combine audio recordings—vinyl record, cassette,CD—with printed matter. These artists’ recordworks are a type of artist’s book; they are also alternative publications released in editions or as multiples.

"Broken Music is an essential compendium for records created by visual artists. The publication was edited by Ursula Block and Michael Glasmeier and originally published in 1989 by DAAD. Broken Music focuses on recordings, record-objects, artwork for records, and record installations made by thousands of artists between WWII and 1989." from Primary Information website. Record-objects are most likely to have printed material along with the vinyl record.
