undoubtedly the worst-run record company ever yet casablanca produced many memorable records in the disco era. didn't think I would like the book but mr. harris' inside story is a fascinating look at the excesses of the seventies and the beginning of the music industry's (now we can say inevitable) decline.
taking quaaludes @ the office is a recipe for disaster - DUH. still this is more insightful IMO than many more serious books on the music biz even though I came away thinking that "the record companies put out better music when they were run by crooks & music geeks rather than corporate bean-counters."
