Soft cover. Condition: As New. First Da Capo Press edition 1996. Previously published by Knopf in 1979. "In 1978, Greil Marcus asked 20 other writers on rock---including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, Simon Frith and Robert Christgau---a question: what one rock and roll album would you take to a desert isl…and? The resulting essays were collected in STRANDED, 20 passionate declarations that appropriately affirmed the solitary and obsessive activity that rock listening had become. Here are salutes, elegies, thank-you notes and love letters to records such as The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet, The Ramones' Rocket to Russia, Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, Something Else by the Kinks, and out-of-print classics by the Ronettes, Little Willie John and Huey 'Piano' Smith; the whole is supplemented with Marcus's own invaluably annotated 50-page discography, a 'Treasure Island' of rock and roll. STRANDED remains a classic of rock and roll literature, and perhaps the best possible answer to the question: what one rock and roll book would you take to a desert island?" Bright, clean & tight copy, unread in As New condition. Crisp edges, no creases in spine, no age toning on pages. Quite presentable & collectible.
