The Label: The Story of Columbia Records [Hardcover] Review

THE LABEL has to be one of the finest ever books about music, the music industry, and pop culture.And it has to be the coolest looking!It traces the history of Columbia Records from the invention of the phonograph to the present, and all the greats are there:Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand, Duke Ellington, Leonard Bernstein, Billie Holliday, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin, Benny Goodman, Sinatra, Horowitz, Kostelanetz, and on and on!And of course Walter Yetnikoff and the ever-present Clive Davis.What a feast -- you won't want to put it down!The writing is very graceful and astute, filled with fascinating details about deals and star-making and egos, trends and manias and feuds and so on.And the book, with its multiple photo sections and 50 pages of footnotes, is impeccably researched.

Music fiends are going to adore this book - what a great gift idea!I'm giving it to several of my music-fanatic friends, 'cause I know they'll REALLY like it.Very hip.GREAT COVER.A book to disappear into for days...
