'The idea was simple: to ask a group of authors to each write a book about a classic album. What emerged became Continuum's 33 1/3 series. Without guidelines or rules, each author embraced their own favourite album and chose exactly how they wanted to write about it.As a result, each book is by turn anecdotal, obsessive, technical and personal, but always passionate.', "Just how the hell did three snot-nosed party boys from Brooklyn go from fighting for the right to party to creating 1989's hip-hop masterpiece Paul's Boutique? The album, with its thousands of samples, is an aural encyclopedia of musical landmarks, served up in a funk stew of arrogance, attitude, and ultimately, adoration for the components from which it comes. LeRoy has done a great job capturing the surroundings, the people involved, and the reaction then. The insights as to how the record was constructed, from the mighty foot of John Bonham to the scratchy guitar of '70s funk, are illuminating. Fire up Paul's on the iPod, crack the spine of this little tome, and "Shake Your Rump."--The Big Takeover, "...recognized as acultish, kaleidoscopic classic...a frequently illuminating and entertainingtale..."- Stevie Chick, Mojo, &"Just how the hell did three snot-nosed party boys from Brooklyn go from fighting for the right to party to creating 1989's hip-hop masterpiece Paul's Boutique?

4 out of 5 stars
by taz1126Jan 12, 2010
Very good, short, quick read
A short, but very detailed account of one of the most important albums of all time. The author goes to great lengths to dig into the smallest of details surrounding the history, inspirations, and players involved. The book ends with a nice (but brief) song-by-song analysis.
