...I laughed like a drain when I first read this book in 1983 and bought it again instantly when it was republished recently. Not only was it just as funny second time around, but (joy oh joy) there were extra stories and details in the new edition which the original publisher had apparently censored. This is an insider's first hand account of the 1960s music business in London, and as a fan of the music of that era I still find the book rivetting. There's so much crap and pomposity and myths that have grown up concerning that time and place, this is a refreshing dose of down to earth dirt-dishing. Sorry to rant on like this, but I've worked in the UK music biz and this is one of my favourite books about the subject, ever.
