ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Armed only with passion and hustle, Stuart Coupe has eked out a career from most areas within the arena of music - journalist, artist management, recording label, publicity, touring, retail. The memoir gives glimpses into the world of the 80s onwards, especially Sydney, and there are plenty of stories of questionable behaviour, spats and being on the wrong foot and plenty of big names. There's a personal toll exacted and it certainly gives an insight into how home-spun the industry could (can?) be. Craig
M.J. Cornwall writes about the life of American rockstar, PJ Proby who attracted a lot of controversy during his career. He was deported from the UK, blew his fortunes and had troubled marriages.
