Reviews
'This is a wonderful book of pop music history. A man obsessed with the beauty of creative artists and wanting to create his own legacy and to enable other musicians to have a voice by releasing their magic. We need more people like him in a world full of mass-produced mediocrity.'Elton John
'A beautiful, insightful and honest look into the life of legend and musical polymath Simon Raymonde.'Cillian Murphy
'Simon and his father Ivor have soundtracked many chapters of my life. Their musical journey makes for a fascinating read that's a very British take on the story of rock 'n' roll.'Don Letts
'Simon Raymonde likes to credit serendipity for the storied life that music has given him - seemingly unaware that his genial joie de vivre might have influenced the outcome of his successes. Therein lies perhaps the greatest of this book's myriad charms.'Pete Paphides
