This is a comprehensive look at the supergroup that is Genesis,
following the origins of the band with its founding members Tony
Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherford (bass, guitar); and Phil
Collins (vocals, drums), who joined in 1970, to the years when the
legendary Peter Gabriel was the frontman of the band. The book
charts the rise of Genesis as a global band and reflects how they
sustained success despite having undergone several personnel
changes throughout its history. Now they are back playing live
maybe for the last time. This is their story from Charterhouse
School in 1967 to reforming and playing live over 50 years later.
After the breakup of the Beatles in 1971, Paul McCartney formed
Wings with his wife Linda on keyboards, ex-Moody Blues guitarist
Denny Laine, and American session drummer Denny Seiwell. For ten
dramatic and turbulent years, the band weathered the critics,
endured drug busts, survived a harrowing recording session in
Nigeria, changed drummers constantly, and produced a great deal of
remarkable music. One of the most successful bands of the
seventies--this post-Beatles years book tells the stories behind
the #1 hits "Listen To What the Man Said," "My Love," "Band on the
Run," "Jet," "With a Little Luck," and "Coming Up." Pete Chrisp
reveals the band's inner dynamics and Paul's determination to
pursue a new sound, the criticisms Linda initially got from fans
and bandmates, and the character conflicts that kept the lineup
changing. With a feature on Wings guitarist Henry McCullough, the
book features a complete discography, a list of singles and albums
also includes a treasure chest of Wings promotional material--album
covers, posters, ads, and photos of the band on tour.
The story of every album and single that the Beatles ever made and
recorded on vinyl. Take a step back in time, and celebrate the
greatest band that ever recorded on vinyl - their brilliant
records, the sleeve art, and limited edition extras of the records
themselves. The world would never be the same after the phenomenon
that was the Beatles exploded onto the airwaves. We tell the
stories behind every album and single released by the band, through
to Abbey Road released on September 26, 1969. We go behind the
scenes to bring these vinyl recordings and the artwork and images
to life.
