I did find one released last year by Nick Hasted called You Really Got Me but still for such a major band there is a bit of a dearth. I wonder if thats cos the Davies bros are difficult - no one seems to have much good to say about Ray. Maybe I'll have to read his and Daves books.

What abt the tell-all by ex-gf of Lindsey?
A few lovely anecdotes about drinking champagne during the Tusk sessions and doing coke with Stevie in the car.

I started reading the Zeppelin one today. Every time I come across the name "Mickie Most" I want to throw that shit out the window.

Just finished one that's so boring (reviewed under embargo so can't name it) that it makes me wonder if I ever want to read a single-artist bio, as opposed to a memoir, again.

Just recently read Buddy Guy's forthcoming When I Left Home which contains a lot of interesting stories - unfortunately, it's written in Negro dialect. I'm not joking. Half the time it reads like a transcript of an old Amos 'n' Andy routine.
