Happy Jack Posted Monday at 22:50 Posted Monday at 22:50 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Just-Backdated-Melody-Maker-Seventies/dp/1915858224 Following a post by Joel McIver I bought this, and I've just finished reading it. It is comfortably the best read I've had in years ... and I read a LOT. Can't remember the last time a book had me laughing out loud (and I don't mean a bloody emoticon) so much or so often and, as a child of the 70s (I'm 68) every single bloody page meant something to me. The book is so well written that I didn't even feel jealous; I just felt like I was there with him. Trust me, you won't regret buying this. 3 2 Quote

Chris Charlesworth later commissioned me to write a number of books, so I knew him well. Never lost the common touch, or the ability to laugh at the business and himself. Probably the bloke I aspired to be! 1 Quote
Mickeyboro Posted Tuesday at 08:16 Posted Tuesday at 08:16 And a suggestion of my own. Earl Slick’s Guitar is 99p on Amazon Kindle today (Tues 25th) if Bowie is your thing. 1 Quote
