About This Item
By the end of 1968,The Beatles were far too busy squabbling with each other to work together, while The Stones were off the road and in trouble; British rock was in crisis.
'ALL THE MADMEN' tells the story of what happened afterwards,and how six stars travelled to the edge of sanity in the years following the summer of love: Pete Townsend,Ray Davies,Peter Green,Syd Barrett,Nick Drake and David Bowie - and how some of them did not make it back from the brink.
The book charts how these performers made some of the most seminal rock music ever recorded: Pink Moon; Ziggy Stardust; Quadrophenia; Dark Side of the Moon; The Muswell Hillbillies,to name but five.Together these albums offer an extraordinary portrait of their creators as well as a dangerously forthright insight into the times.
Leading rock historian,Clinton Heylin reveals the story behind these iconic albums and their creators to give a riveting,panoramic account of a major turning-point in British rock.
