Product Description

John Peel
The Nice will be here when all the others are in Pantomime in Wolverhampton ... Their influences are many, but they are indebted to no one.

Virgin Encyclopedia of 60s Music
Much of what Emerson later achieved with the huge success of Emerson, Lake and Palmer should be credited to the brief but valuable career of The Nice

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Prequel to The Show That Never Ends, 18 Oct 2002
By A Customer
Fantastic to see a book about The Nice at last. The story is a compelling one capturing the story of a band of talented musicians as they progress from obscurity to superstardom in the heady days of the sixties.

The Nice broke new ground and were a big influence on other bands of the period. The story as recounted by Lee, Brian and the others who lived through it gives a fascinating account of life in a touring band during that era and a valuable insight into the early career of one of rock's greatest keyboard
players.

There are many rare pictures including one of the famous tearing (and burning) of the stars and stripes at the Royal Albert Hall.

The book is almost worth buying for the pics alone.

A great story and an absolute must for any ELP or Nice fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Riverting Good Read !, 12 Oct 2002
Really well written detailed read on this most underrated of bands.The author has unearthed loads of new stories and facts and presents them in an extremely readable way. Shame Mr Emerson declined to be involved but BD,LJ and the unsung star of the story Bazz all shine. Fantastic rare photos and layout only add to the books impact.
As a fan of music bios I'd recomend this to anyone who wants to know more about the 1960's and how the music of that era changed the world!
Great stuff !

5.0 out of 5 stars MEMORIES, 14 Jan 2003
By J. Sutherland (Glasgow, Lanarkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first LP I bought, with my own money, was 'The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack' by The Nice. It was 1967 and I was 14.
This book is just wonderful and brings back all the memories I have of The Nice. My big regret was that I never saw them live, too young but, the first live band I saw, in 1971, was Emerson, Lake & Palmer who played a smattering of 'Nice' tunes.
If you want to know wht the fuss about The Nice is read this book and, listen to any/all of their albums.
Thank you Martyn Hanson and THANK YOU The Nice.
