About this listen
Now it can be told! The true, behind-the-scenes story of Casablanca Records, from an eyewitness to the excess and insanity. Casablanca was not a product of the 1970s, it was the 1970s. From 1974 to 1980, the landscape of American culture was a banquet of hedonism and self-indulgence, and no person or company in that era was more emblematic of the times than Casablanca Records and its magnetic founder, Neil Bogart. From his daring first signing of Kiss, through the discovery and superstardom of Donna Summer, Village People, and funk master George Clinton and his circus of freaks—Parliament-Funkadelic—to the descent into the manic world of disco, this book charts Bogart’s meteoric success and eventual collapse under the weight of uncontrolled ego and hype. It is a compelling tale of ambition, greed, excess, and some of the era’s biggest music acts.

A real insight into the record industry
A real enjoyable book, at times too many names and radio stations to remember, but overall a brilliant listen

Party?
If 'party every day' means describing capitalism as it pertains to the music industry then yes, let's party. It's not a party that I'd like to be invited to though. Most of the narrative is based around climbing the greasy pole of money making - not about the charms or the art and creativity of music and all that could engender. Shame.
