Into The Mix -400 X 400-02

On the last episode Soundbreaking, the focus shifts from recording music to the range of musical formats. From the long-playing record to the mp3, the medium had just as much of an impact as the music itself. Highlights include:

  • Frank Sinatra invents the concept album with In the Wee Small Hours
  • Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye use the long-playing record for new kinds of expression
  • The Grateful Dead and the rise of the bootleg cassette tape
