Other titles in the New to Continuum's Acclaimed 33 1/3 series:The Band: Music From Big Pink (33 1/3 Series)by John Niven
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:33 1/3 is a series of short books about a wide variety of albums, by artists ranging from James Brown to the Beastie Boys. Launched in September 2003, the series now contains over 50 titles and is acclaimed and loved by fans, musicians and scholars alike. Review:"It was only a matter of time before a clever publisher realized that there is an audience for whom Exile on Main Street or Electric Ladyland are as significant and worthy of study as The Catcher in the Rye or Middlemarch. The series... is freewheeling and eclectic, ranging from minute rock-geek analysis to idiosyncratic personal celebration." The New York Times Book Review Review:"Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just aren't enough." Rolling Stone Review:"One of the coolest publishing imprints on the planet." Bookslut Review:"These are for the insane collectors out there who appreciate fantastic design, well-executed thinking, and things that make your house look cool. Each volume in this series takes a seminal album and breaks it down in startling minutiae. We love these. We are huge nerds." Vice Review:"A brilliant series... each one a word of real love." NME Review:"Passionate, obsessive, and smart." Nylon Review:"Religious tracts for the rock 'n' roll faithful." Uncut Review:"We... aren't naive enough to think that we're your only source for reading about music (but if we had our way... watch out). 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." Pitchfork Synopsis:New to Continuum's acclaimed 33 1/3 series, this is a novella informed by extensive research and interviews with surviving Band members. About the AuthorJohn Niven, the author, has a degree from Glasgow University in English Literature, and was the guitarist in The Wishing Stones — their sole LP Wildwood (Heavenly Records 1992) owes more than a a passing debt to the music of The Band. He now works as a music and screenplay writer, film director and A&R for acts like Travis, Mogwai, and Sigur Ros. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
