About this product
Product Information
Punk Rock and Hip-Hop. Disco and salsa. The loft jazz scene and the downtown composers known as the Minimalists. In the mid-1970s, New York City was a laboratory where all the major styles of modern music were reinvented - all at once, from one block to the next, by musicians who knew, admired and borrowed from one another. Crime was everywhere, the government was broke and the city's infrastructure was collapsing. But rent was cheap, and the possibilities for musical exploration were limitless. Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell the full story of the era's music scenes and the phenomenal and surprising ways they intersected. Moving panoramically from Johnny Pacheco and the Fania All-Stars renting Yankee Stadium to take salsa to the masses, to the New Jersey locals Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith claiming the jungleland of Manhattan as their own, from Grandmaster Flash transforming the turntable into a musical instrument, to David Byrne and the Talking Heads proving that rock music 'ain't no foolin' around', Will Hermes captures the creativity, drive and full-out lust for life of the great New York musicians of those years whose music went on to change the world. 'New York City in the 1970s - perhaps you had to be there. But don't worry if you weren't. Will Hermes was right on the spot, and he has written one of the best books you will ever read about the relationship between a place and its musics' Nick Coleman, author of The Train in the Night- A Story of Music and Loss 'It was the best of times, it was the best of places- Will Hermes captures the creative incandescence of New York in those five years that changed music.' Richard Williams

Speedyhen certainly lived up to their name, the package arrived two days before the estimated delivery, so happy on that score. The parcel was extremely well packaged, and the contents exactly as described, and at a very competitive and value for money price. Very happy with my dealings with Speedyhen, and I have no hesitation in recommending them, or 'The Complete Calvin and Hobbes' collection.
