The Recording Angel - Music, Records and Culture from Aristotle to Zappa 2nd edition

English | 2005 | 256 Pages | PDF | 18 MB
First published in 1987 and now considered a classic, The Recording Angel charts the ways in which the phonograph and its cousins have transformed our culture. In a new Afterword, Evan Eisenberg shows how digital technology, file trading, and other recent developments are accelerating - or reversing - these trends.

Influential and provocative, The Recording Angel is required reading for anyone who cares about the effect recording has had - and will have - on our experience of music.
