And Party Every Day

And Party Every Day: The Inside Story of Casablanca Records chronicles the meteoric rise and eventual collapse of one of the most significant independent labels in music history. Written by Larry Harris, who served as a co-founder alongside Neil Bogart, the memoir provides a candid, firsthand account of the disco era and the chaotic business practices that defined the late 1970s. Published in 2009, the narrative highlights the label's ability to identify massive hits for artists like Donna Summer, KISS, and the Village People while detailing the pressures of managing such rapid commercial success.

The design and tone of the book reflect a journalistic approach to industry history, intended to strip away the glamour often associated with the era. Harris was motivated by a desire to document the business maneuvers and personal conflicts that defined his tenure at Casablanca, particularly the shift from the label's independent spirit to its eventual acquisition by PolyGram. The work received positive attention from music critics and industry historians, who viewed it as a definitive, if unfiltered, primary source on the excesses and innovation of the 1970s music scene.
