Series: On Record

Chronicles the first stirrings of synth pop writ large (the Human League, Soft Cell), the gated reverb drum sound that became ubiquitous (Phil Collins), superstars from Stevie Nicks to Billy Joel to the Police, and a full complement of one-hit wonders and R&B, country and jazz sensations..

The On Record series is an year-by-year, comprehensive look at the evolution of popular music from 1978 to 1998.

Colorado Music Experience founding director and author G. Brown covered popular music at The Denver Post for 26 years, interviewing well over 3,200 musicians, including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and Kurt Cobain, all of whom recounted their escapades and reminisced about what their time on the charts meant to them personally and musically. Over the decades, G. also amassed an archive of close to 15,000 rare promotional photos.

Each volume of the On Record series presents nearly 200 rare archival images and 100 interviews with an array of performers, from the late Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews to Bono and Santana. Beautifully crafted, these books belong in the library of every music fan and music institute.

Reviews for On Record - Vol. 4: 1981: Images, Interviews & Insights From the Year in Music

"""I've had the good fortune of doing many interviews with G. Brown. He has created a wonderfully interesting retrospective about popular music culture as vinyl morphed into multiple formats. I am honored to be part of G's On Record book series, which is both a compelling read and a joy to look at."" -- Kenny Loggins, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and performer"
