edit data

I write regularly about music, entertainment, and travel. I enjoy taking pictures for my articles and books as well. My very first book was "She's A Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll," first published in 1992, and updated in 2002; Yoko Ono wrote the book's preface, and it still gives me a thrill to see her name on the cover. Other areas of expertise include Nirvana, the Beatles, and Elvis, all of whom I've written books about. I've also written for a variety of publications around the world, including Mojo, Rolling Stone, Goldmine (where I had regular Beatles and Elvis columns), and many others. I was also a senior editor at legendary Seattle music publication "The Rocket." ...more

Quotes by Gillian G. Gaar (?)

“Vinyl—short for polyvinyl chloride or PVC—was first produced in the early 1930s and almost immediately was used in radio program transcriptions.”

“So, many rock and soul releases continued to be issued in mono; and if they were available in both stereo and mono editions, often considerably less attention was paid to the stereo iteration. This was more pronounced in the United Kingdom, even after the British Invasion had made British rock a huge force in the record business. With a markedly lower average income, young British rock fans were far less likely to have stereo equipment than their American counterparts.”

“Edison developed a 12-inch 80rpm (revolutions per minute) disc that could fit up to twenty minutes a side in the mid-1920s, but this also failed due to poor sound and the high cost of the equipment needed to play it.”
