The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album. And remarkably; it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in 1967. In this book; Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reeds lyrical genius to John Cales groundbreaking instrumentation; and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan Richman; Harvard documents the creation of a record which - in the eyes of many - has never been matched.

Sal Reveals All (Almost)By StorytellersAfter attending one of Sals live events in Memphis this year; I was excited to hear that he had written a book! Several photographer friends and I attended his seminar together; and were blown away with his sales and marketing information. I think that he did a great job of including his personality and wisdom in his book. Behind the Shutter is full of helpful information for any photographer getting into the business; and there are some great nuggets for even the seasoned pro; but- I was expecting and hoping for a little more detail on the finer points of packaging and marketing. He does a great job of sharing his philosophy and workflow. And; he does a good job of inspiring photographers to dream bigger. While attending his seminar; it was obvious that Sal is a super-star salesman- one of the best Ive ever seen! I would love to see a sequel edition that focuses on the finer points of his sales and marketing system. Sal is a great teacher and motivator. Its obvious that hes also a Rock Star in this industry. Hes a guy who believes in both giving back and paying it forward. Thanks for sharing; Sal!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good info but lacks detailsBy Tiffany HeidenthalGood information. I picked this up after watching Sal on Creative Live and being very inspired there. I think his talks are better; with more details and examples of what hes talking about; but this book outlines it all in print. If youve already seen his videos or seen hi in person; there probably isnt anything new in this book. To me; it was like a refresh of things hes already taught me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Vague informationBy CustomerThe book had good information. However it was just general and vague information. Definitely not a book for an individual that is just starting out in business. I expected to see more detailed and specific information like a formatted business plan or marketing plan. I thought that the author would delve deeper into his actual business practices and provide specifics about SWOT and how it relates to his business. Good information but it was information that I have already read online about starting a business.
