Lessons in music from the self-proclaimed 'king of analogue' * TLS * This highly readable book tells the story of a larger-than-life adventure as wild as any musician's career ... What's great about the book is that it never undermines the myth but it has realism too. There are stories about excess but there are also stories about money and music. And lots about people, always central to all the stories. * Louder than War *
