"How do youshowcase the Minutemen's DoubleNickels On The Dime , a sprawling opus of a punk record, spanningmore than 40 songs over four LP sides? It's a formidable task that could easilyget out of hand, but Michael T. Fournier takes a simple, no-nonsense approachin this installment of the Continuum 331/3 series, and this sensibility takes us into the heart and soul of theband and their crowning achievement. Fournier dives right into the band's history, giving us a short overview of thebasics; how they formed, the band members' various personalities, and how theygot to the point of releasing Double Nickels. The band was notorious forusing inside jokes and obscure references, which played itself out in the themeof the record. Fournier breaks down their overall approach, including aninteresting bit on how the album name and cover photo played off of SammyHagar's ICan't Drive 55, of all things. He also explains the structure of thealbum and how each separate side came into being, with each band member gettinga side, and leftovers ending up on the last side, nicknamed Chaff. From there, Fournier goes into each song on the album, providing back storiesand anecdotes, including interviews with bassist Mike Watt himself. The bookdoes a great job of pulling back the layers of quirkiness that the band paintedthemselves in, shining light on some of the mysteries of one of the 80sgreatest indie punk records."

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (556,282)
- r***g (245)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
