Echo and Reverb: Fabricating Space in Popular Music Recording, 1900-1960 (Music Culture)
"A bracing book that made me realize I'd never really 'heard' so many records I had listened to for decades. It is chiseled, lucid, beautifully written, and so vivid it somehow lets you hear every example without benefit of audio."-- Luc Sante, author of Low Life and The Factory of Facts
