This volume of memoirs chronicles the most exciting generation of
British music the world has ever seen. Punk's initial firestorm
kicked open the door for myriad other scenes. In rapid succession
came Ska, New Mod, New Wave, anarcho-punk and Oi/street-punk.It was
an explosion of madcap musical energy as incendiary as it was
inspirational, created and performed by both geniuses and madmen.
At the heart of this rock 'n' roll tsunami was SOUNDS magazine. And
at the heart of SOUNDS was your narrator, Garry Bushell. Like his
idols, Garry lived every day as if it was his last. Which it nearly
was. Going to prison with the Angelic Upstarts, tripping into
paranoid West Berlin with the Exploited before The Wall came down,
fighting a world champion boxer...all in a day's work for our
Garry. These were truly days of glory. Bushell joined The Specials
and The Selecter as they toured the US for the first time. He
covered befriended Debbie Harry, feuded with Crass, skanked away
with Madness, championed Secret Affair and managed the Cockney
Rejects. From John Cooper Clarke to Right to Work marches, from
Squeeze in South London to seedy German brothels, this volume is a
unique record of raw and exciting bands, giant characters and
radical ideas - all told with a twinkle in the eyes and a smile on
the lip. Sounds Of Glory is a brilliant new memoir from one of
Britain's most daring and controversial rock journalists. It's a
must-read for anyone who loved Sounds and lived through the golden
years of British rock and pop.
