Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records by Jim Ruland

4.0

---

A very good and reliable work that is sourced and researched incredibly. It aims to be thorough by covering all the releases on this label and try to get a handle on the person who started it and is now seemingly the only person left running the back catalog. Ruland does this capably though seems to hold back on details of Greg Ginn’s personal life (fear of lawsuits or trying to focus mainly on label itself). Those details would have helped fill in the picture and show the poignant sadness of a man who has isolated himself from so many.
