Featuring stories from between 1974 and 2013, Allan Jones brings his tales - many previously unpublished -from the golden days of music reporting and anecdotes of excess ranging from the hilarious to the cautionary, poignant and powerful. Among sex, drugs and much rock 'n' roll, Allan recalls the endearing reason why 'lambchop' became the iconic band's name, admits that Screaming Lord Sutch is a veritable conversational threshing machine and reminisces an eventful trip to Texas led by Nick Lowe, with a bunch of people from the industry, with the firm intention of joining the Confederate Air Force. The collection, including some previously unpublished stories, mostly covers US and UK artists with other internationally acclaimed stars such as writers, film directors and comedians. A nostalgic plate section includes photographs from the author's own collection.
