The Jam - Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler - were the
ultimate 'angry young men' of pop. Leading the Mod Revival of the
1970s in thrilling new directions, their tight live shows,
razor-sharp style and perfectly crafted songs earned them a devoted
following and a string of number one hits. By 1982 The Jam were
bigger than ever, but the pressure of success was taking its toll.
At the peak of their powers, Paul Weller made the shock decision
that was far from welcomed by the rest of the group, let alone the
fans: The Jam were to split up and go their separate ways. This
richly illustrated and revealing oral history of their final year,
led principally by the voice of drummer Rick Buckler, contains a
number of previously unseen images and untold stories, taking us
from the recording and release of their final studio album, The
Gift, to The Jam's last appearances together. In addition to
Buckler's memories of the time, The Jam 1982 also brings together
testimonies from Gary Crowley, producer Peter Wilson, A&R
manager Dennis Munday, photographer Neil ‘Twink’ Tinning, Eddie
Piller, Paolo Hewitt, Mat Osman, Belle Stars singer Jennie Matthias
(‘The Bitterest Pill’), touring musicians Jamie Telford and
Steve Nichol and others, to tell the tale of a single, fateful
year: the year The Jam, for better or worse, went out at the very
top of their game.

While she once made headlines with her hedonistic lifestyle, part
of Nicks' irresistible appeal is her youthful vulnerability and
mystical aura, making her an artist with whom fans have an
unbreakable emotional connection. Crowned 'The Reigning Queen Of
Rock And Roll' by Rolling Stone, and with gold and quadruple
platinum solo albums under her beaded belt, Stevie Nicks has
enjoyed the ultimate in rock 'n' roll success in her life as a
recording artist - but this charmed life has come as a result of
hard graft, self-belief and a devotion to creativity above all;
hers has been a journey of intense highs and lows.This book, a
celebration of the Stevie Nicks phenomenon, takes us on her journey
from peripatetic mid-West childhood to her explosion onto the music
scene as chiffon-swathed rock goddess, right up to present day.
Including exclusive interviews with some of Stevie's associates and
collaborators from over the years, author Zoe Howe explores the
mystique while retaining the magic of this modern-day musical
sorceress and wise woman of rock. This revised edition will include
information about the full line-up Fleetwood Mac tour dates ('On
With The Show'), the 24 Karat Gold self-portrait collection
exhibition Stevie curated in Hollywood to coincide with her 24
Karat Gold album. Her work with the LA band Haim, coping with the
loss of her close friends Glenn Frey and Prince, being a Rolling
Stone cover girl again and more.
Best Blues Book 2014 by Blues Matters magazine. Have you heard
about Eel Pie Island? Anyone with an interest in the history of UK
rock n' roll is familiar with The Cavern Club and the role that
Merseyside played in the story of the British Beat scene. But on a
far-less-celebrated, but no less significant path, over a small
bridge onto an island in the middle of the Thames, Eel Pie Hotel,
another great 60s club night, played host to acts that would later
make a global name for themselves. The Rolling Stones, Long John
Baldry, Rod Stewart, Pink Floyd, The Small Faces, David Bowie and
The Yardbirds are amongst the many acts who performed at the
legendary Eel Pie Hotel during its 50s and 60s heyday, as did jazz
greats like Ken Colyer, Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk, as well as more
avant-garde performers like Ivor Cutler. But how did The Eel Pie
Club become such a popular venue? What motivated its founder,
Arthur Chisnall to create a space where young people could enjoy
the music they wanted to, in an environment free from the usual
constraints? Why has this thriving West London scene been omitted
from rock history when its influence has spread far and wide?
Recently, bands like The Mystery Jets have paid homage to
Chisnall's fabulous club, playing gigs on the island that launched
careers and cemented rock's infamous relationships. The latest
incarnation of the Eel Pie Club is alive and well. This book traces
the origins of a scene that is long overdue for recognition.
Poly Styrene was a singer-songwriter, an artist, a free-thinker, a
post-modern style pioneer and a lifelong spiritual seeker: a true
punk icon. But this rebel queen with the cheeky grin was also a
latter-day pop artist with a wickedly perceptive gift for
satirising the world around her - her brightly coloured, playful
aesthetic sharply at odds with the stark monochrome style and
nihilism of punk. Here, for the first time, the vibrant jigsaw of
Poly s inspiring and often moving story has been lovingly pieced
together by her daughter, singer-songwriter Celeste Bell, and
writer/artist Zoë Howe (author of the acclaimed Typical Girls? The
Story Of The Slits, amongst many others). From growing up
mixed-race in Brixton in the 1960s, to being at the forefront of
the emerging punk scene with X-Ray Spex in the 1970s, to finding
faith with the Hare Krishna movement, to balancing single
motherhood with a solo music career and often debilitating mental
health issues, the book honestly and openly explores Poly s
exceptional life, up until her untimely passing in 2011. Based on
interviews with those who knew and loved Poly whether personally or
through music, this oral history book includes testimonies from
Vivienne Westwood, Don Letts, Glen Matlock, Jonathan Ross, Neneh
Cherry, The Slits Tessa Pollitt, Thurston Moore, Jon Savage, and
many others. Heavily illustrated throughout including personal
photographs, flyers from the punk scene and hand-drawn artwork and
lyrics for X-Ray Spex and beyond the book beautifully captures Poly
Styrene s creative and personal legacy, reminding us that if anyone
had the power to turn our worlds dayglo, it was her.
Celebrating a wide range of punk design in vinyl cover art,
posters, flyers, fanzines, and other ephemera, The Art of Punk
highlights the movement primarily within graphic design and print,
while also considering its impact on wider popular culture. Punk
was based on immediacy-an often-inspired amateurism and
underground, close-knit communities that burned brightly but were
not intended to extend beyond the gig, the event, the scene, the
moment. Punk songs by such legendary bands as the Sex Pistols, the
Ramones, the Damned, the New York Dolls, the Germs, and the Clash
tended to be short, fast, and aggressive, and the oft-repeated
credo "If it can't be said in three minutes, it's not worth saying"
was adopted as standard practice, extending in turn to an entire
ethos for the whole subculture. The book is arranged
chronologically, and by genre, and features more than 900 visual
examples both by uncredited artists and internationally renowned
designers and design groups, alongside interviews with, and
commentary by, many of the artists concerned.
