The On Record series presents rare archival images and insightful interviews by long-time popular-music journalist and radio personality G. Brown.
“I've had the good fortune of doing many interviews with G. Brown. He has created a wonderfully interesting retrospective about popular music culture as vinyl morphed into multiple formats. I am honored to be part of G's On Record book series, which is both a compelling read and a joy to look at.” –Kenny Loggins, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and performer
On Record Vol. 8 – 1986 of the comprehensive On Record series captures the British synth-pop duos (Pet Shop Boys) and bombastic hard-rock acts (Europe’s “The Final Countdown) making an impression on the charts, the sexiness of Madonna and Berlin, the seminal videos (Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer,” Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al”), as well as the year’s greatest releases from pop, R&B, country and jazz stars.

Colorado Music Experience founding director and author G. Brown covered popular music at The Denver Post for 26 years, interviewing more than 3,000 musicians, including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and Kurt Cobain, all of whom recounted their escapades and reminisced about what their time on the charts meant to them personally and musically. Over the decades, G. also amassed an archive of close to 15,000 rare promotional photos.
Each volume of the On Record series presents nearly 200 archival images and 100 interviews with an array of performers, from the late Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews to Bono and Santana. Beautifully crafted, these books belong in the library of every music fan and music institute.
