A collection of the best interviews from The Wire's "Invisible Jukebox" feature. Edited by Tony Herington. Published by Quartet Books.

In June 1991 The Wire published an interview with the ex-Rip, Rig And Panic pianist Mark Springer under the section heading "Invisible Jukebox". The format of the interview was a new one for the magazine, but the idea, as outlined in the feature's strapline, seemed simple enough: each month, sit a musician or group down with an interviewer, play them a series of records, and ask them to identify and comment on them - with no prior knowledge of what they were about to hear. This book, published in 1998 by Quartet, collects 32 of the best "Invisible Jukebox" interviews to appear in the magazine between 1991-98: Barry Adamson, Steve Albini, Jack Bruce, Gavin Bryars, Harold Budd, John Cale, Neneh Cherry, Coldcut, Elvis Costello, Holger Czukay, Anne Dudley, Future Sound Of London, Diamanda Galás, Bruce Gilbert, Philip Glass, Goldie, Peter Hammill, Ice T, Lydia Lunch, James MacMillan, Graham Massey, Mixmaster Morris, Alex Paterson, John Peel, Courtney Pine, Henry Rollins, Mark E Smith, Sonic Youth, Ali Farka Touré, Paul Weller, Jah Wobble and Robert Wyatt.

The book costs £10 in the UK, £12 in Europe, the USA, Canada and the Rest of the World.
