Oxford University Press, 1991 ISBN-13: 978-0195058283 334 pages -- 9.5 by 6.5 inches When the late Russell Sanjek's monumental three volume history,American Popular Music and Its Business, first appeared, it was acclaimed as an unprecedented contribution to the study of American popular culture. Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records called it a "colossal work of research and writing," and Nat Hentoff lauded this history as "an astonishing work of discovery" and "a lucid, continuously absorbing narrative. There is nothing else like it in the literature. Now, David Sanjek, the author's son, and a scholar of American culture in his own right, has condensed and updated the last volume of this classic, providing a richly detailed history of the music business in the 20th century. Sanjek traces the incredible technological and economic revolution which has accompanied popular music in the last ninety years, starting with Thomas Edison's important turn of the century inventions and following through all the way to the rise of the compact disc and Digital Audio Tape. Very good to excellent condition. Slightly bumped corners. No writings and super clean interior. Dust Jacket is Fine, shows a tiny tear at very bottom spine and very minor if that soiling to back dj. Price clipped. Great gift idea. Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks |
