[EAN: 9780826417480], Neubuch, [PU: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, London], Paperback. Marc Woodworth's book covers the albums long and unorthodox period of writing, recording, sequencing, and editing. It includes interviews with members of the band, manager Pete Jamison, web-master and GBV historian Rich Turiel and Robert Griffin of Scat Records. At least sixty-five songs were recorded and considered for the album and five distinct concepts were rejected before the band hit upon the records final form. One late version, very nearly released, contained only a few of Bee Thousands definitive songs.The rest were left out and nearly ended up in the boxes of cassette out-takes cluttering up Robert Pollards basement. The story of Guided By Voices transformation from an occasional and revolving group of complete unknowns to indie-rock heroes is very much part of the story behind the making of Bee Thousand.In addition to providing a central account of how the record was made, Woodworth devotes a substantial chapter to the albums lyrics. Robert Pollards lyrics are described by critics, when theyre described at all, as a brand of tossed-off surrealism, as if his verbal sensibility is somehow incidental to the songs themselves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Woodworth offers a sustained discussion of Pollards work as a writer of often sublime, beautiful, and very human lyrics.The third key section of the book covers aesthetics. Woodworth considers the great appeal of the do-it-yourself nature of Bee Thousand and reflects on the larger importance of the strain of alternative rock for which this record is a touchstone. An in-depth analysis of the most infamous lo-fi album of the 90s. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability., Books<
