As far as I know this is the only book about Go-Go relased to date.It is therefore hard to compare it, yet anyone with a cursory knowledge of recent African-American music can tell this is a well planned and well written book.It offers history, musical investigation and a social context to Go Go music.As a Londoner who went to clubs that played Go Go here in the 80's I was particularly pleased that the London Go Go scene of that era was covered in the book in addition to the obvious Washington one.I recommend this book to all Go Go fans, Hip Hop fans, and anyone with an interest in an extraordinarily Funky music form.
