- Summary:
- "Workers have been producing militant culture for as long as they've been fighting for better working conditions, higher wages, and sometimes even revolution. One form this culture has taken is song, and throughout the latter halfof the twentieth century autonomous workers, musicians, and unions around the world honed it to a nearly forgotten form: the strike record. Strike While the Needle is Hot takes readers through the wildcat sounds and rebellious rhythms of labor's greatest hits preserved on vinyl, providing both a broad overview of how militant unionists used music as a tool of struggle, as well as an inspiring history from below about specific worker revolts that would be lost to the bosses' tune of profit and production had they not been captured on small discs of vinyl." -- Provided by publisher.
