Nick Hornby's Songbook, a collection of short essays about
some favorite songs of his; it comes with a CD collecting
some of the more obscure tracks he discusses. The Brit
edition of Simon Reynolds's Generation Ecstasy (well, it was
titled Energy Flash over there) came with a CD of examples.
Still, those are books about music (and the songs copyright
holders probably figured readers would want to check out more
recordings by the artists on the CDs they liked), not books
that include music."
Bill Moody's Looking For Chet Baker (2002) apparently came
with a CD, but there seems to be some question whether the CD
with just with the ARC or also with some first editions.
Despite having friends travelling to the States and the local
independent mystery store try to find me a first with the CD,
they couldn't even find a first edition so I finally had to
settle for a remaindered second. It got to be a joke with my
partner who travels widely on business. When she called, one
of my first questions always was,
"Looking For Chet Baker?"
All but the first of Moody's books in his series featuring
jazz pianist/reluctant PI Evan Horne should have had CDs as
they had plots tied to Clifford Brown, Charlie Parker and
Wardell Gray.
