Repeated Takes is the first general book on the history of the
recording industry, covering the entire field from Edison's talking
tin foil of 1877 to the age of the compact disc. Michael Chanan
considers the record as a radically new type of commodity which
turned the intangible performance of music into a saleable object,
and describes the upset which this caused in musical culture. He
asks: What goes on in a recording studio? How does it affect the
music? Do we listen to music differently because of reproduction?
Repeated Takes relates the growth and development of the industry,
both technically and economically; the effects of the microphone on
interpretation in both classical and popular music; and the impact
of all these factors on musical styles and taste. This highly
readable book also traces the connections between the development
of recording and the rise of new forms of popular music, and
discusses arguments among classical musicians about microphone
technique and studio practice.
