Turn The Beat Around – The Secret History Of Disco (hardcover)
Book (Item 481648) FF, 2005 — Condition: New Copy
One of the deepest explorations of the disco era we've come across from author Peter Shapiro – not at all a nostalgic look back, really more of a cultural study that looks into the music and the world around it. Shapiro does a great job of putting it all into perspective, from the social factors leading to the growth of the music, to the technological and artistry behind it, from the dawn of the sounds, to full blown pop culture fad that exploded it and sunk it back underground later in the decade, and how it survives in the new millenium. Hardcover, 369 pages. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
