Book Reviews of Heart: In the Studio
Book Review: A must-have for fans, but flawed...
Summary: 3 Stars
Like the other reviewers, this is a great book for fans. Some previously unknown stuff is brought out for each album, details we like and rarely find. But the mistakes are common and terrible. Names of people and equipment were often screwed up - the spelling of "Nevison" and "Levison" used in the same paragraph! Obviously no one proofread this book. (I was confused when he talked about two studios "Can Base" and "Mushroom", but I did online research and found it was the same place, but they didn't mention this in the book.)
Technical details ARE nice for those of us musicians who care, like the famous "Recording the Beatles" book - it shows how the technique affects a record's sound - like the first Heart album and why it sounds so good. But the writer doesn't really know the technical side, so the explanations are jumbled - confusing both the technical and average reader.
This book could do with a BIG rewrite....
