Reviews

'The definitive, if not the only, book on early British rock guitar - a great read.' Hank Marvin, The Shadows; 'A personal and often very funny account of how the early rock stars grappled with the fact that nobody had the faintest idea of how to go about becoming a rock star because no-one had ever done it before.' Miles Kington, journalist and broadcaster; 'Equally fun, witty and very informative. Highly recommended.' Vintage Guitar Magazine; 'He [Mo Foster] is a most engaging guide through the half-century of rock guitar. This is a book you could effortlessly read from cover to cover, but it's also a good dip-in-and-out book.' The Journal; 'A fascinating and comprehensive insight into both the British recording and performance world.' Musician's Union
