A propos de cet article

Uber-scarce in the trade, and these are the only SIGNED copies. Prairie Prince as the session drummer on XTC: Skylarking? No way! Yes way. Todd Rundgren's Utopia Sound Studio as a disheveled upstate New York Fust Palace? No way! Yes way. Bomb threats and incessant phone calls to radio stations spinning the disc about the inclusion of "Dear God" on the U.K. pressing leading to its removal for the U.S. Market? The Catholic Church weighing in on pop music standards? No way! Yes way. Todd Rundgren is a genius but also a monster? No way! Yes way! Andy Partridge can "see" gaps in sound structure? No way! Oh, Yes way. Fuzz guitar overdub or mandolin? You make the call. Brand-new, straight from the published and with author's signature laid in in the form of a bookmark. Alfredo Marziano's extremely readable, XTC: Skylarking ? A Life in A Day, the Making of a Pop Classic is a fine new work of music journalism. This 152-page book draws on archive material, black-and-white and full-color images, original interviews, verified rumors, high-points in music criticism, low points in Catholic Church history, liner notes and more to go down a rabbit hole of discovery and illumination.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
