Collections of September: Taylor Swift vinyl records and Youssef Chahine DVD classics among physical collectibles to consider

In the realm of art, literature, and music, several exciting developments are unfolding.

Firstly, luxury publisher Assouline is set to release a new book titled "La Mamounia", a tribute to the historic hotel in Marrakech, Morocco. Known for its beauty, hosting of royalty, presidents, and celebrities, La Mamounia has a rich history that is now being celebrated through this book. "La Mamounia" features evocative new photography alongside rare archival images, including a 1935 portrait of Winston Churchill painting in the gardens.

Meanwhile, in the world of music, Taylor Swift is preparing to release her 12th album on October 3. Titled variously as "It's Beautiful", "It's Rapturous", and "It's Frightening", the album is expected to be as much treasured as it is listened to. The album comes with a limited-edition CD and vinyl, available in a unique "sweat and vanilla perfume Portofino orange vinyl".

For film enthusiasts, there are two notable releases. "Cairo Station" by Youssef Chahine, a neorealist melodrama from the golden age of Egyptian cinema, is being restored to its former glory in ultra-high definition and will be released by The Criterion Collection. Another film making waves is "Flow", the Oscar-winning animated feature from Latvia that explores friendship and survival through the journey of a courageous black cat. "Flow" made history at the 97th Academy Awards as the first film from Latvia to win an Oscar and is now coming to DVD on September 23.

Lastly, music lovers might also be interested in the re-release of Junk Fujiyama's album "Junk Scape" on vinyl on September 5.

Each of these releases promises to enrich our cultural landscape, offering a diverse array of experiences for audiences to enjoy. Whether you're a fan of art, literature, music, or film, there's something for everyone in this vibrant mix of creativity.
