"And Party Every Day" - The Casablanca Records story
-
Artist:
In the 1970s, there was a record label called Casablanca Records. This is its story, written by its co-founder and filled with all the goodness one would expect from one of the era's drugged-up businesses."In the 1970s, America was a banquet of hedonism and self-indulgence, and no person or company in that era of narcissism and druggy gluttony was more emblematic of the times than Casablanca Records and its magnetic founder, Neil Bogart.
From Bogart’s daring first signing, the positively pyrotechnic KISS; through the discovery and superstardom of Donna Summer, the Village People, and funkmaster George Clinton and his circus of freaks, Parliament Funkadelic; to the label’s descent into the manic world of disco and its attendant vices, AND PARTY EVERY DAY charts Casablanca’s meteoric rise and eventual collapse.
Written with great candor and humor by Larry Harris, Casablanca’s cofounder and former senior vice president and managing director, AND PARTY EVERY DAY is the only definitive, firsthand look at Casablanca’s remarkable story and a breathtaking view of ambition, greed, excess, and that great American era of extravagance. It features never-before-seen photos, including KISS’s 1973 audition for Casablanca and candid backstage shots."
