“The internet can scale just about anything but it can’t scale the intimacy of exploring an artist’s body of work, and the album’s resilience is captured in this remarkable book.”
– Will Page, author of Tarzan Economics
“Jopling explores why the album is the historical anomaly that battled through multiple format shifts to (mostly) endure artistically, culturally and economically. Body Of Work is part eulogy for the album’s past glories and part electioneering for the album’s future relevance.”
– Eamonn Forde, author of The Final Days of EMI
“A clear headed summation of the album’s evergreen appeal.”
– Will Hodgkinson, Chief Rock & Pop Critic, The Times
“Keith Jopling, at once advocate and analyst, has written an affectionate and insightful account of the album’s survival in a hostile age of streaming and algorithms.”
– Ludo Hunter-Tilney, Arts & Pop Critic, The FT
“This book made me fall in love with the art of the album again, and I’m sure it will do the same for you. A must read for any true music fan”
– Shain Shapiro, author of This Must Be the Place
