In the 1950s and '60s, those shiny 45-rpm records with the big hole in the middle were the primary delivery system for popular American music, especially rock 'n' roll. Cheap to manufacture and available to even fly-by-night record operations, the donut disc changed the way popular music was written, recorded, promoted and marketed, and it broke--at least for a time--the iron-fisted dominance of the major record corporations. This book traces the history of the 45 7" phonograph record—from its origins back to the 1880s to explaining the personality conflicts that led an eccentric genius to develop the 45 single record into one of postwar America's most popular consumer products. 45 RPM by Jim Dawson & Steve Propes explores how the jukebox, the autonomous disc jockey, and payola and artist...

Personnel: Jeff Lescher (vocals, guitar); Jim Diamond (vocals, bass guitar); John Valley (drums, percussion). Liner Note Authors: Phil King; Jeff Lescher. Photographer: Cindy Illig.In the mid-'80s, Chicago's music scene was dominated by muscular, hard-edged punk-inspired acts like Naked Raygun, Big Black, and the Effigies, and in this context Green stuck out like a sore thumb, as Jeff Lescher and his bandmates wrote smart, tuneful, and energetic pop tunes and played them with the appropriate degree of spunk communicated through simple, well-crafted arrangements. Listening to Green's first full-length album years after the fact, it often seems as if Green were pushing the aggressive factor of some of their songs in order to better fit in with their peers; the anger of "Hurt You" and the...

One of the biggest gaps in ’80s rock—nay, THE biggest gap—would have to be the absence on CD of R.E.M. producer and southern underground rock icon Mitch Easter’s band Let’s Active. Composed on these two albums of Easter, bassist Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, Let’s Active blended psychedelic production, bubblegum melodies and that Athens-rock jangly guitar sound to create an American answer to the new wave bands from Britain that were sweeping the country at the time. We’re thrilled to announce that we’re going to release the entire Let’s Active catalog, and here we’ve put together their 1983 EP 'Afoot' and their 1984 debut LP 'Cypress', plus two bonus tracks for a total of 20 tracks of irresistible jangle pop. Includes from 'Afoot—Every Word Means No; Make Up with Me; Edge of the... Less

Stuart Chambers has brought a fresh approach to the story of one of the longest-lasting rock bands in existence Yes. Chambers sees their history as falling into three main phases: classic Yes (1970 1977), modern Yes (1981 1991) and Yes future (1992 2001). He illustrates his thesis by examining three distinct styles of Yes music that surfaced over three decades.Chambers conveys the dynamics between the band members as they come and go and the politics of music with thoughtful and insightful clarity. Perhaps one of their main assets is the ability to adapt to the times, because, as Chambers says, If rock groups are unwilling to reinvent themselves as years pass, relying solely on their laurels, they lose credibility.It is quite clear that Yes is still credible, still in the running, and...

As a sequel to 2004's similarly packaged Rhino box No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion, this four-disc set tackles the punk/indie/modern rock of the 80s with equal panache. Subtitled "Dispatches from the 80s Underground," these 82 non- chronological tracks play like a great college station from the later part of the decade. Encompassing a dizzyingly diverse musical palate, styles range from the artsy Southern twang of R.E.M., to the sugary pop of Aztec Camera, the blistering hardcore of Black Flag, the ghostly techno of Japan and the chilly, noir dance floor attack of New Order. And that's just on disc one. Sure, there are some omissions, but the box does a remarkable job balancing more popular acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Cure and Echo & the Bunnymenwith cult faves like Green... Less
