Deadwax from the vinyl house : uncovering the musical hoard of an era / Justin Cipollini, Vincent Mallardi.

Summary:
"DEADWAX FROM THE VINYL HOUSE is the story of the discovery of a hoard of phonograph records, master discs, magnetic tapes and printed albums from the 1960's found in an abandoned house whose owner was once a leading recording engineer. As the book examines the "deadwax," or etchings on the run-outs of the records, the entire history of sound recording is revealed. All the studios, performers, talent agents disc jockeys, songwriters and, yes, mobsters of the decade are researched with an abundance of never before known first-hand accounts of what went on and how it was done. This is a complete, technically savvy, narrative in the context of the sociopolitical mix of the period; the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the birth of solid state electronics, video recording, and the internet. The book is intended for music lovers and people fascinated with the 1960s"-- |c Provided by publisher.
