Synopsis

The mythology tied to rock music in the United Kingdom and Ireland is as famous as it is varied. The first edition of Rock Atlas went some way to uncover these stories and legends, but this second edition goes even further, with more than 70 percent new entries telling the fascinating tales behind seven hundred amazing music locations throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.

From the story behind the famous Ziggy Stardust album cover to the tale of how the gravestone of Eleanor Rigby inspired John Lennon, this book is a must have for any true fan of rock music.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

ROCK ATLAS has hundreds of stories which deliver a fresh, new insight into the lives of the UK and Ireland s rock and pop stars. Where were they born? Why does a particular place inspire them? Why do so many locations mean so much to musicians and us fans? ROCK ATLAS has the answers. If you ve ever wondered how Steve Marriott got on with his neighbours, how Bob Dylan went ghost-hunting in Worcestershire, what a rude boy s bedroom looks like, where Eleanor Rigby is buried or how The Jam are commemorated in their home town of Woking, this is the book for you. This fact-packed look at rock and pop, from an entirely different perspective, throws up many new revelations about our favourite musicians. When you ve finished reading the stories, you can visit the places. Every one of the book s 800 entries is followed by directions for how to find the iconic venues, record shops, statues, album cover shoots, childhood homes and festival sites.
