33 1/3 Greatest Hits. T. 1 / Edited by David Barker. - Wyd. 3. - New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - VIII, 264 s. ; 22 cm.
The writings in this book are extracted from volumes 1 through 20 of our 33 1/3 series - short books about individual albums. In here you'll find a wide variety of authors, albums, and approaches to writing about those albums. So sit back, put on your headphones, cue up your favourite songs, and let our writers transport you to a time when: Dusty Springfield headed south to Memphis to record a pop/soul classic; The Kinks almost fell to pieces, and managed to make their best album while doing so; Joy Division and their mad, brilliant producer created a debut record that still sounds painfully hip today; James Brown mesmerized a sell-out crowd at the Apollo, in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis; The Rolling Stones shacked up in the South of France and emerged with one of the best double-albums ever; The Ramones distilled punk rock into its purest, most enduring essence...

Armed Forces / Franklin Bruno. - Wydanie 2. - New York ; London ; New Delhi ; Sydney : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - VI, 151 stron ; 17 cm.
"Armed Forces" was an intercontinental pop-rock bomb, built from American spare parts, repurposed in England with a German timing mechanism and sleek Swedish design, intended to produce global shockwaves but lobbed most directly at the land where it was conceived. Its advance press campaign asked the American audiences: Where were you for the big one? World Elvis Costello Album Three. If imagined a success d'estime its architect, another ad invited listeners to Get Mercenary right along with him, beside a stylized, pinless grenade.

Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time.

Master of Reality / John Darnielle. - Wyd. 3. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - 101 s. ; 17 cm.
Black Sabbath's Master of Reality has maintained remarkable historical status over several generations; it's a touchstone for the directionless, and common coin for young men and women who've felt excluded from the broader cultural economy. John Darnielle hears it through the ears of Roger Painter, a young adult locked in a southern California adolescent psychiatric center in 1985; deprived of his Walkman and hungry for comfort, he explains Black Sabbath as one might describe air to a fish, or love to an android, hoping to convince his captors to give him back his tapes.

[Led Zeppelin IV] / Erik Davis. - Wyd. 4. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2014. - [2], 177 s. ; 17 cm.
In this wickedly entertaining and thoroughly informed homage to one of rock music's towering pinnacles, Erik Davis investigates the magic—black or otherwise—that surrounds this album. Carefully peeling the layers from each song, Davis reveals their dark and often mystical roots—and leaves the reader to decide whether Four Symbols is some form of occult induction or just an inspired, brilliantly played rock album.

Pet Sounds / Jim Fusilli. - Wyd. 4. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - [2], 121 s. ; 17 cm.
Pet Sounds is, rightly, one of the most celebrated pop albums ever released. It has also been written about, pored over, and analyzed more than most other albums put together. In this disarming book, Jim Fusilli focuses primarily on the emotional core of the album, on Brian Wilson's pitch-perfect cry of despair. In doing so, he brings to life the search for equilibrium and acceptance that still gives "Pet Sounds" its heart almost four decades after its release.

In Utero / Gillian G. Gaar. - Wydanie 3. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - [2], 105 stron ; 17 cm.
Bibliography na stronach 103-105.
Though Nevermind was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, In Utero has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.

Exile on Main St. / Bill Janovitz. - Wydanie 4. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2014. - [2], 172 strony ; 17 cm.
Tytuł na okładce: Exile on Main Street.
Tracing the creation of Exile on Main Street from the original songwriting done while touring America through the final editing in Los Angeles, Bill Janovitz explains how an album recorded by a British band in a villa on the French Riviera is pure American rock & roll. Looking at each song individually, Janovitz unveils the innovative recording techniques, personal struggles, and rock & roll mythmaking that culminated in this pivotal album.

Fear of Music / Jonathan Lethem. - Wydanie 3. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - XIV, 141 stron ; 17 cm.
It's the summer of 1979. A fifteen-year-old boy listens to WNEW on the radio in his bedroom in Brooklyn. A monotone voice (it's the singer's) announces into dead air in between songs "The Talking Heads have a new album, it's called Fear of Music" - and everything spins outward from that one moment. Jonathan Lethem treats Fear of Music (the third album by the Talking Heads, and the first produced by Brian Eno) as a masterpiece - edgy, paranoid, funky, addictive, rhythmic, repetitive, spooky and fun. He scratches obsessively at the album's songs, guitars, rhythms, lyrics, packaging, downtown origins, and legacy, showing how Fear of Music hints at the directions (positive and negative) the band would take in the future. Lethem transports us again to the New York City of another time - tackling one of his great adolescent obsessions and illuminating the ways in which we fall in and out of love with works of art.

Let It Be / Steve Matteo. - Wyd. 3. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - XVI, 141 s. ; 17 cm.
The recording sessions for Let It Be actually began as rehearsals for a proposed return to live stage work for the Beatles, to be inaugurated in a concert at a Roman amphitheatre in Tunisia. In this thoroughly researched book, Steve Matteo delves deep into the complex history of these sessions. He talks to a number of people who were in the studio with the Beatles, recording the sights and sounds of the band at work bringing to life a period in the Beatles' career that was creative and chaotic in equal measure.

Aqualung / Allan F. Moore. - Wydanie 2. - New York ; London ; New Delhi ; Sydney : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - XVII, 110 stron ; 17 cm.
Forma i typ
Przynależność kulturowa
Gatunek
Formed in 1968, Jethro Tull are one of rock s most enduring bands. Their 1971 album Aqualung, with its provocative lyrical content and continuous music shifts, is Tull s most successful and most misunderstood record. Here, music professor and fan Allan Moore tackles the album on a track-by-track basis, looking at Ian Anderson s lyrics and studying the complex structures and arrangements of these classic songs. EXCERPT It was buying your first great-coat that did it. That image of a crazy, probably dangerous individual with unkempt hair, strangely wandering eyes and an inability to keep both feet on the floor at the same time, as seen on Top of the Pops when Jethro Tull and his anonymous backing musicians performed Witch s Promise in 1970, remains to this day one of the most striking I can recall. And when the great-coat appeared in all its glory clothing Jethro s alter ego on the cover of Aqualung, it was clear to us that we were insiders, that we lived in exactly the same crazy world, that we knew what it was all about, even if we actually hadn t a clue.

Murmur / J. Niimi. - Wyd. 2. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - XVI, 144 s. ; 17 cm.
R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe's hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.

Electric Ladyland is one of the greatest guitar albums ever made. During the recording process, Jimi Hendrix at last had time and creative freedom to pursue the sounds he was looking for. In this remarkable and entertaining book, John Perry gets to the heart of Hendrix's unique talent - guiding the reader through each song on the album, writing vividly about Hendrix's live performances, and talking to several of Hendrix's peers and contemporaries.

Highway 61 Revisited / Mark Polizzotti. - Wyd. 4. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - [2], 162 s. ; 17 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and discography s. 155-161.
In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to A Season in Hell.

Low / Hugo Wilcken. - Wyd. 5. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2014. - [2], 138 s. ; 17 cm.
Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World. Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.

Let's Talk About Love : A Journey to the End of Taste / Carl Wilson. - Wyd. 3. - New York ; London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2013. - [2], 164 s. ; 17 cm.
Non-fans regard Céline Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her (creepy) manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about Céline Dion, and nothing clever. That's part of her appeal as an object of love or hatred - with most critics and committed music fans taking pleasure (or at least geeky solace) in their lofty contempt. This book documents Carl Wilson's brave and unprecedented year-long quest to find his inner Céline Dion fan, and explores how we define ourselves in the light of what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate.
