Instead, it's the long-overdue completion of a book that was begun and then lost in 1983. It's a set of salty anecdotes from a life working in pop music. It's a broadside to the music business. It's a short inventory of inexpensive musical tools. It's a 'when not to' and 'why not to' rather than a 'how to'. It's a dispatch from the sidelines and a love letter to popular song. It's a brief guide to the pleasures and perils of recording music at home, by the musician, songwriter and founder of the cult English lo-fi group, the Cleaners from Venus, Martin Newell - a leading figure in the history of cassette culture and godfather of DIY music-making. It does happen to contain some tips on home recording. But it's probably not a handbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dunlin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324649406738,"sku":"9781739403850","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1fa7b0b6-17ef-4844-91e3-09527899c2a1.jpg?v=1748691624","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-home-recording-handbook-9781739403850","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
