     European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 15, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Hook Malcolm s sight and sound a in one package by Pat Wechsler new Day the idea to publish a Book on Malcolm x came to Charles Melcher and Nicholas Callaway a year ago when the african american Community was embroiled in controversy Over How the late civil rights Leader would be depicted in a Spike Lee movie on his Short but explosive life. Melcher 27, and Callaway 38, thought that people should be provided an Undi stilled View of the evolution of his provocative philosophy on race relations and revolution. The generations that did not get a Chance to hear or see Malcolm a they believed should be Given a Chance to judge the Man for themselves. A Spike Lee has a very Strong political Agenda which May or May not be the same As Malcolm xes a Melcher said. A when there was so much original material and recordings of Malcolm x available we thought it was a shame that whole generations would picture the actor Denzel Washington when someone mentioned Malcolm a rather than the Man  and so through their Small publishing House in new York s Greenwich Village Callaway editions Melcher and Callaway developed Malcolm Speaks out a the second bound sound publication that couples a Book and an original compact disc in one package. The Multi Media publication is filled with excerpts from speeches of the fallen Black Leader undiluted and sometimes raw with the bitterness passion and Hope that consumed the nation during the tumultuous 1960s civil rights struggle. For Callaway bound sound Means publishing a Book of the highest Quality photographs on the finest Stock that is intimately intertwined with a cd of the sounds behind those photographs. Like an opera and its libretto neither exists comfortably without the  is a product they said that should appear equally appropriate in record stores and Book stores. The first application of this copyrighted multimedia concept was a bound sound launched this year about the famed custom guitars designed by Danny Ferrington. The Book Ferrington guitars provides the visuals of the guitars and commentary on How designs were developed a cd provides the auditory evidence of the Quality of the product. A this is not just tossing a cd in with a Book Quot said Callaway the founder of Callaway editions and bound sound. A this is about developing two works that interact and complement each  to Melcher and Callaway the speeches and interviews of Malcolm x were perfectly suited for bound sound. A perhaps his greatest Impact is As an orator a Melcher said a there is a limit As to How Many dimensions one can derive from a printed  despite trying to keep the Price Low Callaway sought out photos by some of the nations Best photographers and by Malcolm xes personal photographer Robert Haggins. Realizing that the Book could draw criticism because it was published by a company owned by White Ivy league graduates Melcher and Callaway decided to include no text except the words of Malcolm x. A we tried to present an honest interpretation of Malcolm a Quot Melcher said. A we did no to censor the Early Malcolm that called Whites a Blond Blue eyed devils or later criticisms of Martin Luther King. We let him speak through All his own different voices. We kept it As pure As we could. A a we re White. We can to hide that. But we Felt we could add something to the discussion and it was a subject that we both Felt passionately about. That meets our  s i is i i i is Malcolm x meets the press in 1964. Paperback reviews praying for shoot Rock by Melissa Fay Greene Fawcett Columbine.
