Books : The Greatest Music Never Sold: Secrets of Legendary Lost Albums by David Bowie, Seal, Beastie Boys, Chicago, Mick Jagger, and More! Digital Life Dan LeRoy Average Rating:
Product Description: The Greatest Music Never Sold is a never-before-attempted look at the legendary lost recordings of the pop music world. It reveals the secrets of 20 albums - works by superstars and supergroups such as Mick Jagger, Seal, Chicago, David Bowie, Prince, Sheryl Crow, and the Beastie Boys - that have never been officially released. New interviews with artists, band members, producers, engineers, and label executives shine a light into the darkened studio vaults, revealing the ego battles, politics, and career confusion that have buried work by these pop music greats. Certain to appeal to record collectors, bootleggers, and ardent music fans everywhere, The Greatest Music Never Sold is a rare look into one of pop music's hidden corners.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Includes chapter on Ray Davies' "80 Days" demos
This book includes a chapter on the demos Ray Davies recorded in 1987 of the songs he wrote for the musical "80 Days". Dan is pretty thorough in his research, interviewing playwright Snoo Wilson, director Des McAnuff and arranger Robby Merkin. Very informative, and highly recommended to any Kinks fan who wants to learn more about these songs.
Rating: - Great Subject
I primarily bought this for the Juliana Hatfield chapter. Great subject with a lot of resources. The writing style sometimes leaves the story bit scattered so sometimes it's a bit tough to follow. Other than that great! Will buy volume two if Dan writes it.
Rating: - Engaging and Enlightening
This is such a great idea for a book, I can't believe someone hasn't thought of it before now. LeRoy does the idea justice, as the book is thoroughly-researched (he spoke to just about everyone who is anyone) and informed. And, unlike many people who attempt books on rock music, LeRoy is a fine writer. An excellent book for anyone who is interested in popular music...and for anyone who just likes a good read!
