'Sharp! Flicknife Records and Other Adventures' is an unflinching
and honest portrait of Marc Frenchy Gloder's journey from Grenoble
ghetto to independent record label success at the heart of London's
music scene. Published on 1st September 2016 by New Haven, Marco
Frenchy Gloder's memoirs is co-written with Greg Healey and is the
result of over two years of extensive interviews. A fascinating and
in depth insight into the world of counter culture and alternative
music, from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s, it touches on Soul
boys, freaks, punks, goth and beyond.A tale of tragedy, excess,
adventure and close calls it describes Europe's exploding post war
youth movements at first hand.Frenchy gives a unique insight into
the festivals, communes and student strikes of the late 1960s, life
in the squats of early Punk, and the rise of independent music in
the 80s.Be it the street gangs of his youth, who settled their
differences with knife fights, or his doomed attempt to smuggle
heroin from Iran that ended in imprisonment in an Iranian jail,
Frenchy's story has the kind of drama that comes from living life
on the edge.As he found his place in the music business with the
launch of Flicknife, Frenchy worked with some of the most important
names in alternative music. Hawkwind, Alien Sex Fiend , Charlie
Harper, Glen Matlock, The Saints, The Barracudas and many more
found a home on his label, and he hung out with a host of others,
including Lemmy, Jimmy Page and the Velvet Underground's Nico. A
truly extraordinary memoir of truly extraordinary times.
