Foreword by John Peel

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Oming a close second in anyone's dream job stakes... might be working in the music business. For anyone who sings like a screech owl, thinks a Telecaster is a musician who throws TV's out of hotel windows, and has as much chance of producing a record as an egg from his bottom, the way into the Biz is through the record companies. But what's it really like discovering and promoting the megastars of the future and dealing with the ones already rocking the top of the tree? Veteran record boss Clive Selwood lets us know in his long-awaited autobiography. Pick up a lot of rock memoirs and you'll find Selwood's name. He's there in 'No-one Here Gets Out Alive', the story of the Doors and in the recent 'Dream Brothers,' an account of the brief lives of Tim and Jeff Buckley. Selwood headed up the big names of the record industry at a time when it was thriving like never before. Working with top names from the pop world such as Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Marc Bolan and Elton John, Selwood also schmoozed with Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. How he spent a year on the run from a top London gangster, learned the ins and outs of starting a record company, and became the long-time manager and friend of Radio 1 DJ John Peel are just a few of the incidents and anecdotes tightly packed in this highly entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the music business in Britain. --Fiesta
