| KeithS SUBS 3rd Jul 2021 | ReviewI've read so many books purporting to tell the history of Rock and Roll and so very few are worth the trouble....this one was surprisingly interesting and told the story in a conversational style interspersed with little asides which prompted a "Ooh, I didn't know that" Eventually he comes to the British invasion...and here was where a few alarm bells started ringing. Apparently British teenagers learned all about US Rock and roll from Decca's London-American label..naming Mimi Trepel as the lady who signed up all those legendary labels for UK consumption. London-American existed thanks to Mantovani, who's sales in the US allowed Decca to do reciprocate deals - taking US artists to the UK!!!!! Every UK teenager had the iconic "blue and silver labeled discs with their triangular centres, in their collections.!!! A few pages later talking about Cliff Richard, the Shadows were recording for HMV. These annoyingly, silly mistakes could have been so easily checked by a proof reader but otherwise I quite enjoyed this book. Another plus is the attempted index that most book in the genre seem to ignore 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
