{ "item_title" : "Recording Resistance", "item_author" : [" Josh MacPhee "], "item_description" : "Latest iteration of An Encyclopedia of Political Record Labels, a radical archive documenting the historic interplay between recorded sound and social change.Recording Resistance: An Encyclopedia of Political Record Labels is a groundbreaking exploration of how vinyl records and the labels that released them supported and documented countless struggles for social and political change in the second half of the twentieth century. This expanded edition is the definitive illustrated history of the infrastructure of recorded sound that carried global social movements for over fifty years, including over 1500 record labels from over two dozen countries and territories. Presenting a fascinating panorama of political sound and action, Recording Resistance not only archives the artists, organizers, and institutions that transformed music into a vehicle for education, organizing, and collective liberation; it is also a reminder of the many creative and political opportunities that arise when people come and organize together in person to make, record, press, and distribute music, and an homage to the social organizations--record labels--that made this possible. Arranged alphabetically from A-Disc--the record label of the Swedish labor movement--to Zulu Records, founded by free jazz pioneer Phil Choran, each entry includes the label's history, logo, notes on the key artists, and its contributions to political music and cultural production. Richly illustrated and international in scope, Recording Resistance is an indispensable resource for music lovers, collectors, scholars, librarians, DJs, archivists, and anyone interested in the history of social movements and the sounds that helped shape them.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/94/533/590/1945335904_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "40.00", "online_price" : "40.00", "our_price" : "40.00", "club_price" : "40.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
