Paperback. Condition: New. Girls Aloud record the Pointer Sisters' 'Jump'; Atomic Kitten record Blondie's 'The Tide is High' and Kool and the Gang's 'Ladies Night'' Westlife record Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl', Phil Collin's 'Against All Odds', Abba's 'I Have a Dream', and Barry Manilow's 'Mandy'-Thanks to the boom in TV-created pop stars, ancient pop classics have never had it so good, with 'Unchained Melody' massacred afresh by Gareth Gates and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' eviscerated by Hear'Say. But back in pop's early days, every record was a cover version. Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald were famous for interpreting other people's songs, and the closest Elvis Presley ever got to writing one was when his manager, Colonel Parker, arm-twisted the rights away from the original songwriters. The balance of power shifted when The Beatles and the Stones wrote all their own material, yet the great tradition of the cover version never died. In this elegantly-tooled volume, Adam Sweeting gets the lowdown on cover versions - the worst, the most popular, the most frequently recorded, the most successful, the stupidest, the most tasteless, the most influential, and the ones nobody got around to yet.

Reading houses and building books: Andrew Jackson Downing and the architecture of popular antebellum literature, 1835-1855. Hanover: University Press of New England, 1996, x, 230pp., . Andrew Jackson Downing's reputation as architect, landscape designer, and author spread far beyond his native Hudson River Valley during the first half of the 19th century. But as Adam Sweeting suggests in this elegantly written, illustrated account, Downing's real legacy lies in the philosophical statement he created by melding the literary and building arts with an intensely moralistic outlook., Along with such contemporaries as William Cullen Bryant, Washington Irving, and Frederick Law Olmsted, Downing pursued what Sweeting calls genteel romanticism, an ideal that viewed the confluence of polite literature and graceful dwellings as not just an aesthetic statement, but an ethical imperative., This study of a unique coalescence of literature, architecture, and gardening illuminates "the widely held belief that efforts to reform the world began at home, that beautiful and clean houses produced morally beautiful and spiritually clean people." - CONTENTS: Ch. 1. "The Imperfections of Our Nature": Downing's Landscapes and the Picturesque -- Ch. 2. "For Convenience and Comfort": Downing's Architectural Pattern Books -- Ch. 3. Framing the Restless Mirror: The Hudson River and the Genteel Aesthetic -- Ch. 4. "A More Beautiful and Tasteful Model": Architecture, Morality, and Gentility -- Ch. 5. "A Very Pleasant Patriarchal Life": The Homes of the Genteel Romantics -- Ch. 6. The Stage Comes to Life: The Socialization of Genteel Aesthetics. 9780874517507 ISBN 0874517508.
