THE PRINTED WORD

Posted by Kai on August 1, 2015 at 3:34pm in Mod Talk

Having just noticed that the initiator of the latest "book" thread left the site taking the discussion with him, it's my turn again to revive it; being too important a topic to be dropped, imo.

Having finished "Get Carter" by Ted Lewis over the Holidays, I'll soon start with "Jack Carters Law", a prequel set in late 60s Soho.

The second in a series by author Richard Houghton, I Was There provides a fan's-eye account of the English rock band The Who. With over 400 fans, friends and colleagues accounts of their memories of seeing, working with and knowing members of one of the greatest live acts ever, this book contains fascinating anecdotes, stories, photographs and memorabilia that have never been published before. From their early years as The High Numbers, playing venues in and around London to the full blown tours with the classic Who line-up of Daltrey, Townshend, Entwistle and Moon promoting their landmark albums such as Tommy, Quadrophenia, Live At Leeds, Who’s Next and beyond.

A fantastic Graphic Novel set at the Cote Azur in 1967. Published here last Autumn, I'm not sure if it's available in English.

  Just read it earlier this year. Very candid and interesting. Although my focus waned in the second half as details of his life outside of music predominated.

  I've just finished reading the fantastic and surprisingly in depth Richard Barnes book, The Who Maximum R&B. So thought I would give this another try after getting it on publication.
  
  Isn't an autobiography suppose to be more than the sum of one part of a persons life Scott?
