Review of 'Perfecting Sound Forever' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

There are plenty of excellent reviews of this book on Goodreads. For me, I appreciate Milner's ability to cover all the major issues and events in recording history in less than 380 pages. There are a few rabbit trails he chases (which I skimmed over), but overall, I feel that he gives fair treatment to each perspective about how records should be made, and heard. Makes me want to look into how rapidly things are changing, now four years after this book's publication.
