PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Travis Elborough is a former bookseller and a freelance writer. His previous book, The Bus We Loved: London's affair with the Routemaster was a massive critical success. He lives in London and owns far too many albums for his own good.
He's got a happy knack of stuffing sentences with facts, colour and incident - Scotland on Sunday Pleasingly compelling... Elborough is a charming, funny and frequently fascinating guide - Daily Telgraph Reassuring air of cultural authority... impressive depth of perspective... admirably persuasive - Independent on Sunday Fascinating... very fresh and clear - Guardian Wonderful book... a great thundering roar of nostalgia for the LP record. - Spectator Elborough has the passion of a true enthusiast... but he's also an indefatigable researcher, who has somehow seen a clear path through the vast amount of material to write a book that reads easily and well but also wholly coherently. Richly enjoyable. - Mail on Sunday highly entertaining - Independent an affectionate adieu to the format - The Long-Player Goobye
