Colm O'Rourke has asked the library to buy a copy of the Alan Parsons Art and Science of Recording 3 DVD box set, as he thought it would be especially useful for MA Audio Production students and anyone interested in sound recording (I'm always happy to accept suggestions for purchase and because Colm raved about it, I've bought two sets).
In the meantime while waiting for the DVDs to come into the library (keep checking for them on library search) and having become bored of the short clips available on YouTube, check out the acompanying website.Here you can freeely create a user name and password to have access to a free view of the intro, and a 25-minute interview that Alan conducted recently at Guitar Center in San Francisco, receive news and interact with Alan and "all manner of other cool things".
If you are interested in the history of sound recording you may like to look at and listen to Archival sound recordings from the British Library, (go in via Library search and once in log-in via the "your home institution" link. FIn here there is access to an oral history of recorded sound, early record catalogues and information on playback and recording equipment.
