The 33 1/3 B-sides: New Essays by 33 1/3 Authors on Beloved and Underrated Albums by Will Stockton, D. Gilson

3.0

I have been wanting to read a 33 1/3 book for ages and thought this one would be a good place to start but it wasn’t. This is not because of the quality of the writing. That was fine. I realised that, when reading books on music and/or musicians (which I enjoy doing regularly), I like to submerge myself in the music while reading. Because B-Sides is a collection of essays about a bunch of artists and their albums considered B-Sides by the writer, I couldn’t really do this. Plus, I actually don’t know the majority of bands/musicians covered or their music. I am going to try going back over it to listen to some of the albums.
