History

Originally published by Continuum, [3] the series was founded by editor David Barker in 2003. [1] At the time, Continuum published a series of short books on literature called Continuum Contemporaries. One-time series editor Ally-Jane Grossan described Barker as "an obsessive music fan who thought, 'This is a really cool idea, why don't we apply this to albums.'" [3] PopMatters wrote that the range consists of "obscure classics to more usual suspects by the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones". [1]

In 2010, Continuum was bought out by Bloomsbury Publishing, which continues to publish the series. [3] Following a leave, Barker was replaced by Grossan in January 2013. [2] Leah Babb-Rosenfeld has been the editor of the series since 2016. [4]

Several independent books have been spun off of the series. The first, Carl Wilson's 2007 entry on Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love , was expanded for a 2014 Bloomsbury reissue with material not specifically pertaining to the Dion album and retitled Let's Talk About Love: Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste. Joe Bonomo, at the invitation of Barker, expanded his 33+13 proposal on Jerry Lee Lewis's Live at the Star Club, Hamburg album into a full-length book about Lewis, the album, and his career titled Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found, published by Continuum in 2009. A rejected proposal from writer Brett Milano for an entry on Game Theory's 1987 album Lolita Nation was instead expanded by Milano into a biography on the band's leader Scott Miller; that project, titled Don't All Thank Me at Once: The Lost Genius of Scott Miller , was released by 125 Books in 2015. [5]

In August 2017, Bloomsbury announced the launch of 33+13 Global, [6] an extension of the 33+13 series to popular music from around the world. The first two sub-series launched were 33+13 Brazil, edited by Jason Stanyek, and 33+13 Japan, edited by Noriko Manabe. [7] The first book for 33+13 Brazil was Caetano Veloso's A Foreign Sound by Barbara Browning. [8] The first books for 33+13 Japan were Supercell ft. Hatsune Miku by Keisuke Yamada and Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack by Rose Bridges. [9]
