Enter Mike Segretto and his mammoth 33 1 3 Revolutions Per Minute a history of the rock LP era told through a very personal selection of nearly 700 albums. Beginning with the birth of rock and roll in the 1950s Segretto moves through the explosive innovations of the 1960s the classic rock and punk albums of the 1970s the new wave classics of the 1980s and the alternative revolution of the 1990s always with an eye to both the iconic and the ephemeral the failed experiments and the brilliant trailblazers. It's all here: everything from the classics (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Purple Rain Nevermind and countless other usual suspects) to such oddities as albums by Johnny Guitar Watson P. P. Arnold The Dentists and Holly Golightly. Throughout Segretto reveals the perpetual evolution of a modern art form tracing the rock album's journey from a vehicle for singles and filler sold to kids through its maturation into a legitimate self-contained medium of expression by 1967 and onward to its dominance in the '70s '80s and '90s. Whether you read it from cover to cover seek out specific albums or just dip in at random and let the needle fall where it may 33 1 3 Revolutions Per Minute is a fun informative and unapologetically opinionated read.
