Summary:
"Music historians Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton spent years cataloguing the extraordinary tales of the world's most revolutionary DJs, and The
Record
Players
is the fun and illuminating result. A collection of firsthand accounts from the obsessives, the playboys, and the eccentrics who molded
DJ
culture, it follows dance music's evolution from records to synthesizers, and from rock to disco to techno and far beyond."--Back cover.
