Synopses & Reviews
Publisher 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:
Neil Young's Harvest is one of those strange albums that has achieved lasting success without ever winning the full approval of rock critics or hardcore fans. Inglis here explores the creation of the album and its lasting appeal.

JohnnyC, January 16, 2008 (view all comments by JohnnyC)
In one of the most balanced critiques of a recording, Sam Inglis offers us the notion that although this album is famous for any number of reasons, it may not be all it's cracked up to be. Yet, I couldn't help feeling rendered enthusiastic about the history of the album and it's musical context in the career of Neil Young. To the latter, Inglis succeeds very well. To the former, Inglis tries to be critical but still finds it difficult to commit to any opinion, be it positive or negative. But perhaps this is the mystery of the record: it contains enough musical ideas to be at once both brilliant and mediocre.
