I was hoping for slightly more 'gossip' and inside information on the actual artists though there were some priceless nuggets. Ray Davies of the Kinks really not a nice man (something I also thought when I saw an interview with him) but still has written some great songs; the fights between Stevie Nicks & Lynsey Buckingham as soon as they stopped recording, what a lovely guy George Harrison was, Kurt Cobain's bouts of depression. It was also interesting to read what producers and engineers thought of some the musician skills or on some occasions lack of. Some great photos and a wide selection of songs but a lot of 'techie' information which went over my head even if I didn't read the specific Tech boxes. If you love music certainly worth a look.

Fantastic Reading! I must have this book - it explains British History from beginning to end. This is the book I’ve wanted to write but I wouldn’t have done even a tenth as good of a job as this author id. My only criticism of this author is that he tends to dwell on Princess Diana, way too much. He is also the author of “Her Life Story,” so I guess Diana may be his specialty.

GOOD CONDITION!

GREAT CONDITION!
