Continuum's pocket-sized 33 1/3 series has been praised by everybody from the New York Times to Vice Magazine and consistently features some of the top music critics around. Each volume in the series revisits and breaks down (in meticulous detail) a classic album, giving up every piece of inside info you could want, from recording techniques to the inspirations behind the songs themselves. In this volume (#41), former Village Voice music editor Eric Weisbard "looks back to a time when rock was bigger and brasher, and when a man with access to the amplifier of the gods sat at his piano and tried to make beautiful music." 125 pages.
