Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl soundtrack record album, Colgems COSO -5005, very-good vinyl LP in a very-good cardboard jacket. Yes, after Cubby Broccoli and Co. had produced four successful James Bond films with Sean Connery -- and introducing the magnificent Ursula Andress -- Charles Feldman managed to convince Colgems (you know -- The Monkees) that he had to run through five directors (including John Huston, Ken Hughes, and Val Guest) to complete this bizarre and overwrought James Bond "parody," starring Woody Allen as James Bond, David Niven as James Bond, Terence Cooper as James Bond, with an additional cast including Peter Sellers, Joanna Pettet, Ursula Andress, Daliah Lavi, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, Jean Paul Belmondo . . . anyway, the soundtrack is of excellent quality, believe it or not. The film made money despite terrible reviews (Time Magazine calling it "an incoherent and vulgar vaudeville.") But this "original soundtrack" album, oddly enough, was regarded by some critics as the finest-sounding LP of all time, famous among audio purists for the excellence of its recording, becoming a standard "audiophile test" record, especially the vocal performance by Dusty Springfield on "The Look of Love." (Though note this copy is NOT "near mint," exhibiting some light scratches which cannot be felt. Also beware of post-1990 re-releases, as the highly regarded master tapes were reportedly damaged during a 1990s remastering.) Produced by Phil Ramone. Reduced from $17.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ethnomusicologists believe that all humans, not just those we call musicians, are musical, and that musicality is one of the essential touchstones of the human experience. This insight raises big questions about the nature of music and the nature of humankind, and ethnomusicologists argue that to properly address these questions, we must study music in all its geographical and historical diversity. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the foremost ethnomusicologists, Timothy Rice, offers a compact and illuminating account of this growing discipline, showing how modern researchers go about studying music from around the world, looking for insights into both music and humanity. The reader discovers that ethnomusicologists today not only examine traditional forms of music-such as Japanese gagaku, Bulgarian folk music, Javanese gamelan, or Native American drumming and singing-but also explore more contemporary musical forms, from rap and reggae to Tex-Mex, Serbian turbofolk, and even the piped-in music at the Mall of America. To investigate these diverse musical forms, Rice shows, ethnomusicologists typically live in a community, participate in and observe and record musical events, interview the musicians, their patrons, and the audience, and learn to sing, play, and dance. It's important to establish rapport with musicians and community members, and obtain the permission of those they will work with closely over the course of many months and years. We see how the researcher analyzes the data to understand how a particular musical tradition works, what is distinctive about it, and how it bears the personal, social, and cultural meanings attributed to it. Rice also discusses how researchers may apply theories from anthropology and other social sciences, to shed further light on the nature of music as a human behavior and cultural practice. About the Series: Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library. Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
