Analysing popular music: theory, method and practice

Apart from the inclusion of new footnotes, a few corrected typos, the renumbering of music examples and this short preface, the only significant differences between this document and the original text from 1982 concern terminology. Several concepts used in my doctoral thesis (Tagg, 1979) and in the original article did not turn out to be entirely satisfactory and have been replaced here by more adequate terms.2
