Really excellent biography of TR's studio life (as well as pertinent info about his personal life). Paul Myers really took the time to do quality research and the results were thoroughly engaging, entertaining, and as a musician/producer myself, very inspiring. Though over 300 pgs, it's a tremendously quick read simply because it's so well-written and interesting. I was in the middle of reading the chapter on Rundgren's production of XTC's "Skylarking", and actually found a copy of the CD in a pawn shop on the way home from vacation at Ocean City, MD! We had gone to a minor league baseball game of the Shorebirds (a feeder team to the Baltimore Orioles), and on the back of the ticket was a coupon for a free CD or DVD at "Crazy Louie's" pawn shop. Lo and behold, there was "Skylarking"! It was great to go back and reread the chapter after having listened to the album. By the way, Edsel records has re-released most of all, if not all of Todd's solo stuff and Utopia material on compilation discs. The liner notes actually include excerpts from this book. These releases are very reasonably priced, so snatch them up before they go out of print. If they're anything like Edsel's re-releases of Moon Martin's material, they'll skyrocket in price on Ebay eventually. All in all, a great find - highly recommended!Read full review
The book covers numerous specifics regarding how Todd's recording/engineering took place, and it adds a lot of content to what would otherwise be a typical/general impression of what music & music industry was like, during 1960s / 70s / and onward. Nicely researched ! (Only four stars given because I would've loved the book to be twice as long!)
