Big Star's Radio City

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Radio City (the book) is the improbable but true story of an ardent fan who gets close enough to Alex Chilton, the prime architect of the best power pop album ever made outside of Abbey Road Studios, to see whats on the other side of genius, fame, and expectations.This book examines the key ingredients of Radio Citys lasting appeal, including the unique confluence of circumstances that channeled Alex Chiltons creative energies toward the possibility of commercial success for perhaps the last time.

Released when ELP and Elton John were plodding from one packed stadium to the next, Radio City was a radical album. In time, power pop would become an official rock genre and the influence of Radio City would be widely heard through artists like The Bangles and Teenage Fanclub. This book examines the key ingredients of Radio City's lasting appeal.

Rezensionen

The 33 1/3 series is always a fun read for record obsessives, and Bruce Eaton's coverage of the greatest album of all time here is no exception...Much has been made of the drama and tragedy surrounding Big Star- but the focus here is music...Any fan of the album will find this a quick, worthwhile read.
