The True Story of Jac Holzman´s Visionary Record Label, ´´Becoming Elektra´´ is an account of Elektra Records in the Jac Holzman years, from 1950 to 1973. It tells the story of Elektra´s growth from a small independent folk label to a major, multi-faceted, hit making concern. Jac Holzman´s role in founding and running the company is central to the story, and his capacity for lateral thinking - that led to innovations such as the first-ever sampler album, and a million-selling series of sound effects records - is a recurring theme. But the book is not just a story of one man´s business success. It is also about the label´s artists and the great music they produced, and other key people who gave the company its identity. ´´Becoming Elektra´´ places the label in a broad context. A gripping narrative drawing in elements of musical and cultural history, and biographies of the main participants in the story, the book opens with a pivotal moment in Elektra´s history, when Holzman discovered The Doors. It then goes back to the previously untold story of Elektra in the 50s, when the label brought folk music to a wide audience through artists such as Jean Ritchie, Josh White, Theodore Bikel and Bob Gibson. Moving into the 60s the story takes in artists that have had an extraordinary resonance down the years including some, such as Tim Buckley, who are far more popular today than in their lifetime. His story is told, along with those of artists that read like an inventory of 60s and 70s musical innovation: The Doors, Love, Judy Collins, The Paul Butterfield Band (with Michael Bloomfield), Tom Paxton, Tim Buckley, Fred Neil, David Ackles, Phil Ochs, Bread, Queen, Mickey Newbury, The Incredible String Band, Carly Simon, The Stooges and The MC5. Mick Houghton is a music publicist and journalist. Since 1979 he has looked after the Ramones, Talking Heads, Undertones, Echo & The Bunnymen, Julian Cope, Sonic Youth, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The KLF, Spiritualized, XTC, Bert Jansch and Richard Thompson, among many others. His writing has appeared in Let it Rock, Circus, Zigzag, Sounds, Time Out, Mojo and Uncut, and he wrote the book that formed part of the Grammy nominated Forever Changing: The Golden Age of Elektra 1963-1973 CD box set. He first bought an Elektra LP in 1966. Taschenbuch, 06.2011.

304 Seiten, mit über 800 meist farbigen Abbildungen, kartoniert. Ausgabe 2010. Illustrierter Originalkartonband in neuwertigem Zustand. - Becoming Elektra tells the story of one of the world´s great record labels, the man who created it, the artists he signed, and the stimulating, turbulent times in which it came to prominence. Founded by 19 year old hi-fi enthusiast, Jac Holzman, while he was still a student, Elektra began as a tiny independent folk-music label in October 1950 and grew to become a major artistic and commercial force. With the latest incarnation of the label thriving in the 21st century, the book is released to coincide with a global celebration of Elektra´s 60th year. This meticulous and engaging book brings to life the golden years of the label, from 1950 to 1973, drawing on exclusive archive sources and new interview material with key Elektra recording artists and associates, including Judy Collins, Ron & Scott Asheton of The Stooges, all three surviving members of The Doors, Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, John Sebastian, Herb Cohen, Bruce Botnick, Roger McGuinn and Van Dyke Parks. At the heart of the book is Jac Holzman himself, who spoke at length with author Mick Houghton, talking freely and with great insight and honesty about the label he created. In the 50s, Elektra pioneered folk music with such artists as Jean Ritchie, Josh White, Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand and Bob Gibson, and prepared the ground for the commercial folk boom at the end of the decade. That placed the label in pole position to sign many of the folk-influenced performers of the early 60s, including Judy Collins, Fred Neil, Tom Paxton, and Phil Ochs, before it introduced college audiences to electric blues with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Holzman´s particular innovations and lateral thinking also saw him create the first ever music sampler in 1954, devise the first commercial sound effects library and found Nonesuch Records, which revolutionised the marketing of classical recordings before pioneering world and electronic music. Then, in the mid 60s, Elektra embraced rock music, discovering and nurturing artists such as Tim Buckley, The Doors, Love, Bread, The Incredible String Band, David Ackles, Carly Simon, The MC5, and The Stooges and Queen. In 1970, Holzman took the decision for Elektra to become part of what soon became Warner Communications, alongside the Atlantic and Warner Bros. labels, and in 1973 left the company he founded. Elektra Records continued to flourish, first under the leadership of entrepreneurs such as David Geffen and Bob Krasnow. Having enjoyed a highly successful career in other areas, including as Chief Technologist for Warner Communications, Chairman of Panavison, and Director of Pioneer Electronic Japan, Holzman retained his ties with the music industry and is today a Senior Advisor to the Warner Music Group. Becoming Elektra is a fascinating tale of how quality sound, imaginative artwork, attention to detail and artistic daring combined to win the affection and respect of record-buyers and artists alike. The six colour sections in the book include a complete colour discography featuring every album sleeve during the Holzman era, many rare photographs and fascinating memorabilia - letters, royalty statements, catalogues etc - provided by Holzman himself.
