 Also this week, the authors of 45 RPM: The History, Heroes, & Villains of a Pop Music Revolution.
In the 1950s and '60s, those shiny 45-rpm records with the big hole in the middle were the primary delivery system for popular American music, especially rock 'n' roll. Cheap to manufacture and available to even fly-by-night record operations, the "donut disc" changed the way popular music was written, recorded, promoted, and marketed, and it broke—at least for a time—the iron-fisted dominance of the major record companies.
An engaging new book published by Backbeat Books, 45 RPM: The History, Heroes & Villains of a Pop Music Revolution traces the 7-inch single's origins back to the very first record "plates" in the 1880s, and explores the personality conflicts that led an eccentric, powerful genius to develop the 45 into one of postwar America's most popular consumer products.

Plus, Al Martin is one of America's most outspoken experts on corporate and government fraud. Many call him a relentless whistleblower! His book called, The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider, chronicles his adventures with the Bush family. This detailed account of government criminal operations, namely State-sanctioned fraud, drug trafficking and illicit weapons sales, is unprecedented, and criminal if these accusations are not true.
