In this remarkable book, Douglas Wolk recreates the evening of
October 24th 1962, at Harlem's Apollo Theatre, an evening at the
epicentre of Cold War tensions. An evening when James Brown took
the stage to be faced by 1500 screaming fans - fans who thought
they might well be dead within a week. Wolk reconstructs, in great
detail, what took place (and was recorded) inside the Apollo that
night: one of the tightest, most legendary performances ever put
down on tape. 33 1/3 is a series of short books about critically
acclaimed and much-loved albums of the last 40 years. Focusing on
one album rather than an artist's entire output, the books dispense
with the standard biographical background that fans know already,
and cut to the heart of the music on each album. The authors
provide fresh, original perspectives, often through their access to
and relationships with the key figures involved in the recording of
these albums. By turns obsessive, passionate, creative, and
informed, the books in this series demonstrate many different ways
of writing about music. (A task that can be, as Elvis Costello
famously observed, as tricky as dancing about architecture.) What
binds this series together, and what brings it to life, is that all
of the authors - musicians, scholars, and writers - are deeply in
love with the album they have chosen. Previous titles in this now
well-established series have beaten sales expectations and received
excellent review coverage - the third batch is sure to continue
this success. More titles follow in the spring of 2005.
