Rock: The primary text. Developing a musicology of rock

Abstract

Abstract This book is part of a remarkable series of studies of popular music in Britain published by Open University Press. The series covers a wide range of subjects, from parlour to punk, using what the editors claim is an interdisciplinary approach dealing with “not only ‘texts’ and performances, but institutions and technology as well, and the cultural practices and sets of social relationships through which music and songs were produced.”
