I went shopping at the mall this weekend and I found this book.Costs around $25.Haven't had a chance to read it yet,but it looks like an in-depth study of his classic 70s albums.240 pages with lots of photos too.


In a week or so,I will write a review of this book.

Never seen this before... interesting.


Now:

~ quit posting about the rumoured Madge tracklists

~ snap that Jamiroquai cd in half

~ get stuck into that book

then we want a review!


See you in a week

..


I had just ordered it last week, haven't recieved it yet, though...



...

Pages 96-97 are exciting,it talks about the making of 'SITKOL' and the long delays...


"The album was being labelled alternatively as 'FFF2','We Are Seeing Alot','Let's See Life The Way It Is',but ended up as 'Songs In The Key Of Life'.The delay in releasing 'Songs In The Key Of Life' (let's call it SITKOL) was due to Stevie's need to perfect every mix.He had picked up Gordy's habit of remixing again and again,which didn't sit well with delivering a record for release.This was the longest he had ever spent working on an album.One deadline was missed,which Motown attempted to cash in on by producing a "We're Almost Finshed" T-shirt"

You're gonna like it alot.I just started reading it and I can't put it down.The author is a musician,so he really goes into depth when describing the songs and albums.

I am totally amazed! Didn`t know anything like this existed. I must get this book. Thanks for the thread, David.
