| Abstract | First published in 1987 and now considered a classic, this book charts the ways in which the phonograph and its cousins have transformed our culture. In a new Afterword, the author shows how digital technology, file trading, and other recent developments are accelerating--or reversing--these trends. Influential and provocative, this book is required reading for anyone who cares about the effect recording has had--and will have--on our experience of music. |
