The Sound of the City - Charlie Gillett
£4.99
Originally published in 1971 by London DJ and musical historian Charlie Gillett, this title achieved instant recognition as one of the first serious studies of rock and rock phenomenon. This 1983 edition has built on his early work, taking into account further insights by the musicians and singers he has interviewed along the way. A very competent investigation into social origins and the appeal of rock and roll as an instant teenage antidote to swing, big bands and sentimental ballads of the day (paperback, pre-owned).
