A Fabulous Creation: How the LP Saved Our Lives by David Hepworth is quite a good read as a year-by-year snapshot of the development of the album as a concept and the combo of industry and social changes around it. It does get a bit old man yells at cloud at times, but if you can get past that it's decent. Got his Abbey Road book to read soon as well.
Bob Marley: The Untold Story by Chris Salewicz also good, really enjoyed that one.
There And Black Again by Don Letts was pretty good, mixture of autobiography and the development of Punk. I'm a fan of Letts so enjoyed it, but might not be for everyone.
The Peopleโs Songs: The Story of Modern Britain in 50 Records by Stuart Maconie was a great read for me personally. Does what it says on the tin, takes 50 songs over 50 years and does a chapter on what's happening in Britain at the time that ties in with it.
Also picked up a copy of 1,001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die in a charity shop a while back. Great (if weighty) book if you fancy something to pick up and read a few pages, or get some inspiration on what to listen to.
Currently reading Perfect Circle: The Story of REM by Tony Fletcher. 3 chapters in and love it, going right from the initial meetings in Athens through to the time they called it a day.
