The Joy Of The Single - 2012 - UK
When Albums Ruled The World - 2013 - UK
Sound City - 2013 - USA
Three music-biz documentaries.
First focuses on the single, typically the wax 45.
Mostly white geezers and burnouts warble their memories, display collections and jukeboxes.
Gradually 7 inchers lost influence as LPs gained prominence.
Second doc is about albums, specifically concept albums.
Dylan, Pepper, Yes, Floyd - you know the terrain.
Third doc covers Sound City Studio, famed recording venue of the 70’s and 90’s.
Analogue studio. Gone now, replaced by digital, Pro Tools, etc ...
All docs were enjoyable.
Third one wandered near the end, slipping from the heyday of the 70’s to Dave Grohl's attempt to recreate the era.
