註釋" Star Making Machinery chronicles the history of one rock band, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, to penetrate the myths and glamour of a business that grosses over four billion dollars annually. Geoffrey Stokes goes behind the scenes to view the almost infinite cast of characters involved in the producing and selling of a "hit" record. It is a world rife with record-company power plays, scandals, payola, and the inevitable clash of egos. Striking a critical balance between music as art and music as commodity, it is a valuable study of the economics of mass culture"--Cover.
