The only criterion was that the albums never made the top 100 on Billboard’s LP Top 200 (although in a few cases, they did quite well on the R\u0026amp;B or country chart). The selection ranges from east coast vocal-group harmony to punk and metal, from superstars like The Who and the Beach Boys to virtual unknowns.\u003cspan class=\"break\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"break\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAs Sal and Mitchell write in the book’s introduction, “These are the albums you might not read about, except here. No one needs to tell you why Pet Sounds, Revolver or Blonde On Blonde are essential parts of any decent record collection, or guide you towards classics – or even somewhat lesser efforts – by the Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry or the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Or which Pink Floyd album is indispensable (hint: the debut; you can stop right there). Although we have strong opinions about pantheon artists like Led Zeppelin and Marvin Gaye, and are happy to share those views with anyone in earshot, that isn’t what this book is about. We aren’t here to challenge or endorse rock orthodoxy. Neither is the mission to, once again, assert the brillianceof Skip Spence’s Oar, of such artists as Nick Drake, Big Star, and the Velvet Underground, whose influence, despite the lack of any commercial success in their time, has been thoroughly – one might even say exhaustively – documented elsewhere.”\u003cspan class=\"break\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"break\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTo tell help this story, Sal and Mitchell called on an impressive team of guest essayists: Lenny Kaye, Russ Titelman, Amy Rigby, Brian Koppelman, Dennis Diken, Bebe Buell, Jim Farber, Susan Whitall, Steve Shelley, Phil King, Ira Robbins, Billy Altman, Marshall Crenshaw, Peter Holsapple, Wreckless Eric, Peter Keepnews, Miriam Linna, Joe McEwen, and a cast of dozens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"synopsis-window\" style=\"height: 5.85em; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"synopsistext\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"sa\"\u003eA collection of assembled essays from Sal Maida and Mitchell Cohen \u0026amp; friends on lost classic rock, folk, RnB, psychedelic and funk LPs from the late 50s to the mid 80s.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" class=\"sa\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" class=\"sa\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" class=\"sa\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" class=\"sa\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"metadata_content_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe White Label Promo Preservation Society: 100 Flop Albums You Ought to Know\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAuthors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\n\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSal Maida\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMitchell Cohen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEditor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChuck Nolan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eContributors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\n\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDavid Fricke\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTodd Novak\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHozac Books, 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"metadata_row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_label\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e1735998516, 9781735998510\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"metadata_value\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hozac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40260646600902,"sku":"9781735998510","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/products\/1cc8da212d27e10c88af4bde631e35646d8b218b.jpg?v=1626308301","url":"https:\/\/www.shugarecords.com\/products\/sal-maida-mitchell-cohen-the-white-label-promo-preservation-society-100-flop-albums-you-ought-to-know-new-hozac-2021-book","provider":"Shuga Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
