Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club: Popular Music and the Avant-Garde
ISBN: 9780226287355 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Thus Rebecca Gerber's edition of Trent 88, which took more than a decade to prepare, will be the first to appear. As such, this volume is a landmark in the...
