LOVE IT!!

Another book that I had bought for one of my classes, but this was required reading since it was one of the two main books we had for the course. BUT, I loved it. As many students of the recording industry can be, I loved reading all the lil tid-bits of history and getting insight to some of the artists and companies. A good read for those who love music and have a passion for knowing music history.
