About the Book

The old record business returns! Iron mother, biscuit, newies, cherry pie, Muirized, ride a record, and other forgotten terms are revealed in "Spinning the Groove," the big book of old record business lingo, lore, legends, and trivia for vinyl lovers, record producers, and disc jockeys. This must-needed dictionary will help you understand the old recording industry, the one that operated with glory on recording tape, vinyl disc, and the analog recording method for much of the 20th century. The large-format book is crammed with old advertisements and about 550 terms you must know and the stories behind them. What really is a cover? A paper add? A butt splice? A "coin" man? A dance record? They are among the many colorful terms once used by record producers, label owners, jukebox operators, record distributors, and other music industry operatives of the past century. In "Spinning the Groove: An A to Z Guide to the Lingo and Legacy of the Old Record Business," author and record producer Randy McNutt explores these old terms and explains their place in the history of the music industry. He shows how the vinyl 45-rpm single and the long-playing disc were more than vehicles on which to store music. They were icons of a baby-boom music culture that's still enjoyed by generations of fans. He also includes stories behind the terms--pieces on the Surfaris and their hit "Wipeout"; singer Dale Wright and the regional hits that got him booked on "American Bandstand"; DJ Gary Burbank, the last of the personality radio men; and the faded glory of instrumental records. "Spinning the Groove" explores a crazy music business that gave us everyone from Elvis to Mrs. Miller to the Beatles. So sit back and enjoy the read. The groove is back. Vinyl is cool again!About the Author: Randy McNutt is the writer of 23 books and hundreds of newspaper and magazine feature stories that have run in publications across the world. His stories have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Denver Post, the Detroit News, and other newspapers. He has produced rock and country records for 40 years, and along the way has studied the old record business with keen interest. He has known and interviewed dozens of seminal record chiefs from the days of vinyl records. Their radio hits still amaze and delight music fans around the world. A few of McNutt's other books include "We Wanna Boogie: An Illustrated History of the American Rockabilly Movement," "Guitar Towns: A Journey to the Crossroads of Rock 'n' Roll," "Little Labels, Big Sounds: Independent Record Companies and the Rise of American Music," "King Records of Cincinnati," and "The Cincinnati Sound." Praise for HHP Books' Classic Vinyl Collector Series: "Spinning the Groove" is a must-have encyclopedic adventure for audiophiles, social historians, and vinyl aficionados everywhere . . . a great collection of old ads from the days when 45s were all the rage.--Alison James, Million-Dollar Hot Wax Weekend, WKRC Cincinnati.
