Juke Jules SUBS 7th Dec 2016		I hope you critiqued the book rigorously. I made my own comment on one of his passages in a post to 45cat several years ago



musictom SUBS 6th Dec 2016		This was a required text book in a college class I took back in the late 1960s.



Juke Jules SUBS 10th Nov 2015		Review Goldstein prints the lyrics, some with comments and others without, of 71 classic rock/pop records from 1952 - 1968. 'Classic' means that they would be known to all collectors of the period, even if they are not more widely known as 'oldies'. Each chapter is prefaced by a mise-en-scène for the genre. This covers the period of strutting on the street, followed by the turned-on Acid Heads era of love, flowers and peace while the world was 'hanging on in' through the thread of Mutually Assured Destruction and young Americans were fighting a vicious war in Vietnam Only one or two of the records were not released on 45s, for example Koeeoaddi There by the Incredible String Band, of which Goldstein writes: "To read this lyric is to feel in the presence of dozen dewy-eyed children who have been asked to construct their own cosmology" 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
