"the creation records story " by dave cavanagh , it was reduced from #20 to a fiver so i suspect it stiffed and should be widely available at this price (it must only have been released in the autumn) the cover has a picture of oasis and blair , you could imagine it was going to be a tedious retread of the gallagher brothers slow decline. but no way , DC really knows his stuff and it's basically a story of the whole post-punk indie movement starting with rough trade then postcard and on to creation , but he keeps weaving all the strands together and its a brilliant read. i suspect loads here would love this , he goes into all the politics behind the big indie acts ; orange juice , smiths , marychain. i'm up to about page 200 (out of 550.....) and we're on the house of love now. (signed for #250K , that guy chadwick sounds even less likeable than you'd imagine....). well , well worth #20 actually. worryingly i went back thru my collection and played some of that c86 stuff while i was reading the book. i was never at all convinced by the whole loft/jasmine minks/(early) primal scream scene and i don't think i'm gonna reconsider. i keep thinking of coldplay for some reason.... i'd suggest john roberts would like this especially but after the football today he probably won't be speaking to me :-) p ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V3 #384 *******************************
