-NME
"For those of you who really like to know everything there is to know about an album, you'd do well to check out Continuum's "33 1/3" series of books. Each volume dedicates over 100 pages of thorough, in-depth analysis, history, and other observations to one album. The books are usually written by a renowned journalist, artist, or someone else otherwise qualified to write about such matters."
-Pitchfork
"At certain times in your life, a great record is more important than a good friend....You could write a book about the intense bonds that form between a listener and an album that comes along at just the right time. And now someone has-in fact, a half dozen people have (so far)....[E]ach has a distinct, almost militantly personal take on a beloved longplayer."
-Tracks Magazine
"Love it or hate it, Nick Hornby's High Fidelity at least snatched pop music away from pasty snob reviewers (cough) and made it accessible for anyone who's ever had a favorite song. This ongoing series of novellas and essays takes that idea and runs with it, as musicians, writers, and scholars give us their thoughts on a single album. But this isn't wheezy music criticism-every author's take is autobiographical and anecdotal. And the range of albums (everything from the Beatles' Let It Be to the Replacements', um, Let It Be) is eclectic enough that there should be something for everyone. (four stars)"
-Maxim
"Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just aren't nearly enough."
-Rolling Stone
The writings in this book are extracted from volumes 1 through 20 of our "33 1/3" series - short books about individual albums. Here, you'll find a wide variety of authors, albums, and approaches to writing about those albums. So sit back, put on your headphones, cue up your favourite songs, and let our writers transport you to a time when: Dusty Springfield headed south to Memphis to record a pop/soul classic; the Kinks almost fell to pieces, and managed to make their best album while doing so; Joy Division and their mad, brilliant producer created a debut record that still sounds painfully hip today; James Brown mesmerized a sell-out crowd at the Apollo, in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Rolling Stones shacked up in the South of France and emerged with one of the best double-albums ever; and the Ramones distilled punk rock into its purest, most enduring essence.
