This official account chronicles the 75-year history of Capitol Records, a label that has defined eras through its diverse roster of artists. From its founding in 1942 to the present day, the book traces the evolution of the label and the creation of significant music across genres like pop, rock, country, classical, soul, and jazz. It highlights both iconic stars and brief moments of fame for lesser-known artists. The narrative is enriched by a foreword from Beck, essays from cultural historians and critics, and a wealth of images from Capitol's archives.
