From the Beatles to Beck, Sinatra to Sam Smith, a parade of
era-defining artists have passed through the doors of the Capitol
Records Tower, one of Hollywood's most distinctive landmarks and
home to one of the world's most defining labels for the past 75+
years. To commemorate this extraordinary history of recorded music,
TASCHEN presents this official account of Capitol Records, from its
founding year of 1942 to today. With a foreword by Beck, essays by
cultural historians and music and architecture critics, as well as
hundreds of images from Capitol's extensive archives, we follow the
label's evolution and the making of some of the greatest music of
the 20th and 21st centuries. Through pop, rock, country, classical,
soul, and jazz, the photographic and musical history includes the
label's most successful, cool, hip, and creative stars, as well as
the one-hit wonders who had their all-too-brief moments in the
spotlight. Along the way, we encounter the likes of Miles Davis,
Nat King Cole, the Kingston Trio, and Frank Sinatra in Capitol's
first 20 years; the Beach Boys, the Band, and the Beatles in the
1960s; global rock magnets Pink Floyd, Wings, Steve Miller Band,
Bob Seger, and Linda Ronstadt in the 1970s; Beastie Boys, Duran
Duran, Radiohead, and Bonnie Raitt in the 1980s and 1990s; and such
contemporary stars as Coldplay, Katy Perry, and Sam Smith. An
unmissable milestone for music lovers, Capitol Records is a live
and kicking celebration of the mighty giant of the industry that
created the soundtrack to generations past, present, and future.
