[csaa-forum] Soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever book

[Jon Stratton]

 Friends and Colleagues, I write with very good news from the 33 1/3 Oceania series. Clinton Walker’s book on Soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever is now available as an e-book! It will be available internationally as a paperback on September 19, and in the Oceania region in early October. The link for the Bloomsbury page for the book is: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/soundtrack-from-saturday-night-fever-9798765109656/ .

Here is the blurb: Fever was a supernova for disco, for the Bee Gees, for the domineering Robert Stigwood, producer of the film and its true auteur, and for the entire record business. This book traces all the interdependent convolutions that fed into the film and its music - not least the Australian roots that Stigwood and Gibb brothers shared, which gave them an Otherness and almost gormless, shape-shifting self-determination - and it finds that sometimes great art can be made by a committee ... that sometimes, five songs are enough to change the world.


Please consider buying and please order for your institutional library.

Jon
