REVOLUTIONS IN SOUND - WARNER BROS RECORDS - THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS

For half a century Warner Bros. Records has remained the gold standard among record labels. Frank Sinatra, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Green Day, James Taylor, the White Stripes, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Ry Cooder, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Kinks, Black Sabbath, Tom Petty, Ice-T, Madonna, and many more have recorded for the label-and this celebratory anniversary book tells the inside story of how the label came to build its unparalleled roster. With hundreds of photographs from deep within the Warner Bros. archives, many of them never before published, this volume is a story of the artists, the executives, and a special time and place in the history of American entertainment. Led by Mo Ostin, Warner Bros. Records proved that art and commerce can become productive counterparts rather than adversaries. From the label's troubled beginnings to its ultimate triumph and latest discoveries, Revolutions In Sound captures it all, including the groudbreaking comedy, from Bob Newhart to Steve Martin to Richard Pryor to Sam Kinison, that helped build the label's unique identity. Join the 50th anniversary party in a celebration of the Warner Bros. Records story.
