33 1/3 Greatest Hits, Volume 1: v. 1

Product Information

Originally published by Continuum, [3] the series was founded by editor David Barker in 2003. [1] At the time, Continuum published a series of short books on literature called Continuum Contemporaries. One-time series editor Ally-Jane Grossan mentioned that Barker was "an obsessive music fan who thought, 'This is a really cool idea, why don't we apply this to albums'. [3] PopMatters wrote that the range consists of "obscure classics to more usual suspects by the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones". [1] Thank you also to our editorial advisory board for their hard work reading through and helping us make decisions on the hundreds of proposals received:

Kraftwerk's Computer World:: 33 1/3 Steve Tupai Francis Bloomsbury Academic". Bloomsbury Publishing. But, I got the feeling, reading the New Zealand versions of the books, that these are less for the fans, and more for academics to prescribe for their courses – get the book on the reading list as a way of generating some meagre royalties.New to this submission round*: A one-line description of the book summing up its scope and content. Have an album in mind that you think we should cover? Let us know what you’d like to see in the series in the comments below. You can expect these books to begin publishing in early 2024.

The original Smile album remains unfinished; not to be confused with The Smile Sessions (2011) box set A big thanks to our external advisors, who were integral in our selection process: Samantha Bennett, Sean Maloney, boice Terrel-Allen, Sarah Piña, and Ryan Pinkard. Garth Brooks in...the Life of Chris Gaines by Stephen Deusner on the album by Chris Gaines (1999) [21] Writing about an album like R.E.M.’s debut can be treacherous. More than 30 years after its release signaled the rise of alternative music, Murmur somehow retains its playful sense of evasion, as though purposefully obscuring its meaning in an attempt to make you listen more closely. Explaining each lyric and riff risks deflating its mystery, yet J. Niimi proceeds with caution. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment is finding the right distance from his subject, so that he can explain how the music works without telling us what it’s about. That is, after all, the whole point: “Murmur is a record that needs to be completed by the listener.”And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out by Elliott Simpson on the album by Yo La Tengo (2000) [21]
