| Album: Classic Sleeve Design
|
Nick de Ville 200:-
The 20th century witnessed the birth of the LP, and with it the phenomenon of the record sleeve — the canvas for many of the most inspired and loved images ever created. Millions of people buy albums and CDs not just for the songs, but also for the artwork, which stands as a visual representation of everything the music means to the listener.
Written by record cover designer and art historian Professor Nicholas de Ville, this unique volume, dedicated to the most unforgettable album art ever created, is unparalleled in its detail and scope. It provides the first visual history of the album cover and of the designers, recording artists, and record companies associated with the greatest graphics of all time.

| Boken om Bildjournalen
|
Lundberg & Bohm 375:-
Vad vore 50- och 60-talet utan Bildjournalen! Tidningen, som kunde sälja över en kvarts miljon exemplar varje vecka, var långt före sin tid.
Bildis hade en förbluffande bredd: rock och pop, topplistor, elefantbilder, filmstjärnor, TV-idoler, skönhetstips, mode, romaner, kändisar, fråga doktorn, insändare, bildnoveller, tävlingar, serier - men dessutom högaktuella samhällsreportage, fascinerande människoöden, roliga händelser och dramatiska äventyr. Stort och smått om vartannat. Inget ämne var tidningen främmande.

| Brel och Brassens - Ett Franskt Äventyr
|
Peter Mosskin 100:-
Jacques Brel. Som en Dylan från Flandern. Han sjöng så att folk glömde musiken, texten, orkestern: de såg bara Brel! Han levde sina sånger där framme på scenen. Sedan han slutat att turnera sålde skivorna bara mer och mer.
Georges Brassens. Mamman kom från Neapel. Han var en latinsk Bellman, en Dario Fo från Sydfrankrike. En balladmakare i traditionen från de provensalska trubadurerna.

|
Ross Russell 80:-
This work on Charlie "Bird" Parker offers a picture of not only of the saxophonist-composer as an artist and as a human being, but also of zeitgeist and the musical/social setting that produced him. It shows his complex personality; his great appetites; the extent of his influence; and his work.

| Charlie Parker i Sverige
|
Martin Westin 175:-
En söndagseftermiddag i november 1950 händer något stort i jazzsverige. Charlie Parker kommer på besök för en drygt veckolång turné. Men arrangörer och publik håller andan. I vilken form är Bird? Kan han fortfarande blända publiken med sitt geniala spel eller är han blott en skugga av sitt forna jag? Kan man lita på att han fullföljer turnén?
En söndagseftermiddag i november 1950 händer något stort i jazzsverige. Charlie Parker kommer på besök för en drygt veckolång turné. Men arrangörer och publik håller andan. I vilken form är Bird? Kan han fortfarande blända publiken med sitt geniala spel eller är han blott en skugga av sitt forna jag? Kan man lita på att han fullföljer turnén?
Martin Westin har gjort ett grundligt researcharbete och låter oss följa tätt i Charlie Parkers fotspår under nio hektiska dygn. Resultatet är en levande skildring där vi inte bara kommer Bird nära, utan också lär känna nya sidor av honom, inte minst genom tidigare opublicerade bilder.

| Guns n Roses - Watch You Bleed
|
Stephen Davis 120:-
With 90 million of the band's records sold worldwide since 1987, Guns N' Roses prolonged rock music past its sell-by date with controversial albums and immense, often riotous, world tours. But the band's complete story has never been fully told - until now.
In his sixth major rock biography, Stephen Davis - author of the legendary Hammer of the Gods - details the riveting story of a band that originated in the gutters of Sunset Strip and went on to become the biggest, baddest band on the planet. Davis brilliantly captures the birth of Guns' raw power, which - despite rape charges, drug-induced rampages and a general appetite for destruction - launched the band into the pantheon of rock gods such as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

| Heavy Metal Management
|
Pär-Jören Pärson, Hans-Olov Öberg 80:-
Humoristiskt men välgrundat om hårdrockstänkande i företagsledning.
Världens företagsledare har mycket att lära av hårdrockarna. Exemplen på grabbgäng utan formell utbildning som utvecklar småföretag till globala varumärken av högsta klass är många. Och handen på hjärtat: hur ofta önskar sig inte den genomsnittlige företagsledaren att personal och kunder kunde bete sig litet mer som rockfans? Nog skulle en bank-VD gärna skrika: Lemme se yall go apeshit, motherfuckers! i stället för att läsa årsberättelsen? Global positionering, konsumentattraktion, varumärkesvård, storytelling och kundförförelse är hårdrockarnas överlägsna favoritsporter. Dessutom får de göra det i coola kläder.

| In the City: London Music
|
Paul du Noyer 120:-
"London's music is as important as its landmarks. It is the city of immigrant music, West End musicals, Ronnie Scott's jazz club, Abbey Road, mod culture, the Kinks, the Who and the Rolling Stones, all of whom transformed the city and were in turn transformed by it.
In this fascinating history of the city's popular music, Paul Du Noyer, critically-acclaimed music writer and founding editor of Mojo, explores London's native talent, from Noel Coward and David Bowie to the Sex Pistols and Amy Winehouse. He covers too the London visits of international artists such as Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, who also felt the city's influence.

|
Martyn Hanson 175:-
This book takes you on the roller-coaster ride that is the life of both Jon Hiseman – one of Britain’s top drummers – and his wife, saxophonist and composer, Barbara Thompson.
It's a personal journey through one of the most intriguing and fascinating periods in rock and pop history, telling in detail of the forces, the personalities, the triumphs and disappointments that make up a life spent at the centre of modern music... and all set against the background of how, in the second half of the 20th century, the British music industry reached dizzying heights…until the advent of new technology brought it back to earth with a bump!

D.'s Place in Glendora. Juke Joint includes approximately sixty photographs taken between 1983 and 1989 as Imes traveled throughout the Delta.

Under 1940-talet var hon - evigt klädd i svart - en populär sångerska på de kaféer i Paris som frekventerades av anhängare till existentialismen.
Under 1950- och 1960-talen medverkade hon i några franska och internationella filmer, såsom "Solen har sin gång" (1957), "Ett moln på min himmel" (1957) och "Onkel Toms stuga" (1965). Åren 1966-1977 var hon gift med den franske skådespelaren Michel Piccoli.

| Mötley Crüe - The Dirt
|
Mötley Crüe, Neil Strauss 100:-
Mötley Crüe är världens mest ökända rockband. Whiskey och porrstjärnor, bilkrascher, svart läder och höga klackar, överdoser och död är alla ingredienser i Mötley Crües liv - det band vars medlemmar dricker mest, slåss mest, har mest sex och är mest arroganta i världen. De har ägnat en hel karriär åt att leva så extremt som möjligt. Tommy Lee gifte sig med två internationella sexsymboler; Vince Neil dödade en man och förlorade en dotter i cancer; Nikki Sixx tog en överdos, återuppstod från de döda, och tog ännu en överdos dagen efter; Mick Mars sköt en kvinna och försökte hänga sin egen bror. Och det är bara början ...

|
anthology 60:-
"Neil Young: The Rolling Stone Files" features in-depth interviews, narrative pieces, album reviews, news stories, trivia snippets, performance critiques - everything Neil Young fans long to know and everything Rolling Stone has to offer.
Neil Young's music is about the "ability to survive and continue and grow and get higher than you were before, not just maintain, not just feel well. Not just 'I'm still alive at forty-five,'" as he once told Rolling Stone. Throughout his thirty-year career, Young's music has defied categorization. Veering from confessional singer-songwriter to out-of-control rocker, Young has stretched the limits and taken risks to produce a compelling body of work that will continue to speak to generations.

| Nikki Sixx - The Heroin Diaries
|
Nikki Sixx, Ian Gittins 100:-
The shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious bestselling memoir of Nikki Sixx's yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction.
When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days, sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers, in a coke- and heroin-fueled daze.
The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions.

| Patti Smith - Just Kids
|
Patti Smith 150:-
Den heta sommaren 1967 lämnar Patti Smith hemstaden i New Jersey. Hon hoppar av sin lärarutbildning och tar sig till äventyret i New York. Hon är tjugo år gammal och har tröttnat på hemstadens inskränkthet. Hon vill få nya intryck och utvecklas. Och framför allt vill hon skapa. I New York träffar hon sin själsfrände Robert Mapplethorp. De två blir ett par och lever tillsammans i många år. Tillsammans med Robert kommer Patti rakt in i en miljö och atmosfär som sjuder av kreativitet och liv. Båda får de inspiration att utvecklas, och båda kommer de med tiden att nå stor berömmelse och revolutionera sina konstarter; han som fotograf och hon som musiker och poet.
Just Kids är en levande skildring av New Yorks avantgardistiska och spännande kulturliv i början av 70-talet. Här får vi möta författare, musiker och konstnärer, och många av dem har påverkat en hel generation och givit avtryck långt utanför New Yorks gränser. Här fanns Sam Shepard, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan, William Burroughs, Tom Verlaine och många fler.
Den medföljande CDn innehåller sex låtar: "Gloria", "Because the Night", "Paths That Cross", "The Jackson Song", "People Have the Power", "Wild Leaves".

| Paul McCartney - Many Years from Now
|
Barry Miles 275:-
Based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews undertaken over a period of five years by Barry Miles, and on complete access to McCartney's own archives, this is Paul McCartney in his own words.
It is a history from the inside of one of the greatest song-writing partnerships of the century. It is the private life of a man made public property - a Beatle - by the age of twenty-one. It is the trajectory of the most popular pop group in history, from beginnings to break-up.
At its centre, of course, is Paul McCartney's relationship with John Lennon - as friend, collaborator, as part of 'Lennon/McCartney" - two young guys from Liverpool who went on to change the world - and finally as bitter rivals in a struggle for the soul and the business control of the Beatles. McCartney recalls the genesis of every song he and Lennon wrote together and talks in fascinating detail about how they worked and who was responsible for which line, which melody.

Plura & Carla Jonsson 500:-
"I trettio år har jag rest på vägarna i Sverige och sjungit och spelat mina sånger. Vägarna blev min värld, min arbetsplats. De faluröda gårdarna, de små städerna, bruksorterna, hotellbarerna. För alltid finns dom där, som en del av mig. Skärvor av samtal vid en bensinstation på västgötaslätten, en middag på stadshotellet i Malmköping, öarna och tystnaden och havets dån någonstans i mörkret, någonstans i Sverige, där dessa sånger kom till.
För det är det denna bok innehåller, ett hundra sånger, ett hundra texter, som jag valt ut, sånger som var och är viktiga för mig. Ett hundra sånger, historier, minnen och fotografier ifrån den stora landsvägen. Mitt liv som vävdes in i sångerna, sångerna som blev mitt liv."

|
Chalkie Davies 175:-
After spending four years training to become an Aircraft Engineer at British Airways, Chalkie Davies decided that joining the Rock and Roll Circus was a better way to earn a living than fixing broken Autopilots on Jumbo Jets. So in 1973 he quit life at the Airport and became a photographer.
He joined the NME as Staff Photographer in 1975 and worked there until 1979, where he shot numerous covers and features, as well as touring with Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello and Thin Lizzy. In 1980 he helped start The Face with his old NME Editor Nick Logan shooting all the early covers, and he did the same when Arena was launched a few years later. In 1981 Pete Townshend published a book of his work for the Face and NME called Pointed Portraits.

|
Stephen Davis 150:-
The saga of the Rolling Stones is the central epic in rock mythology. From their debut as the intermission band at London’s Marquee Club in 1962, the Rolling Stones have defined a musical genre and experienced godlike adulation, quarrels, addiction, legal traumas, and descents into madness and death - while steadfastly refusing to fade away.

| Serge Gainsbourg - A View from the Exterior
|
Alan Clayson 100:-
Serge Gainsbourg is synonymous with "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus" on which he and Jane Birkin simulated the sounds of sexual congress. But this 1969 UK no. 1 was but a sideshow in an impressive career as a composer, novelist, film director and actor.
The first full biography in English, Alan Clayson's book reveals the entire sordid story. Gainsbourg was an inlikely pop star and an even less likely lover of icons like Birkin, Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve. But from humble beginnings he went on to write songs for Dionne Warwick and Sacha Distel. A natural at courting controversy, his outrages included a scandalous arrangement of "La Marseillaise" among songs on female masturbation, incest, Nazism, and, in 1988, a rapping ode to oral sex. He continued to be newsworthy the world over until his body's final rebellion at the age of 61, after a lifetime of violation.

Lars Åkerström 500:-
Här presenteras den sagolika historien om en av Sveriges mest framgångsrika och internationellt kända popgrupp.
Berättelsen börjar i Göteborg 1958 och fortsätter fram till idag (2004) då gruppen fortfarande är mycket aktiv. Sologitarristen Bo Winberg byggde själv gruppens utrustning och skapade ett världsunikt sound som ingen ännu lyckats kopiera, trots flera försök. Gruppens smarta gimmick var att klä sig i rymddräkter.
I Japan fick gruppen redan 1968 en guldskiva för låten "Karelia". Totalt har gruppen sålt fler än 18 miljoner skivor. Det är respekt! Boken innehåller medlemmarnas egna berättelser, unika bilder, tidningsurklipp, turnéplaner mm. Det mest unika är bilderna på fler än 800 omslag till skivor, kassetter och phonoband. I slutet av boken finns en sammanställning över gruppens makalösa skivutgivning runt om i världen. Till boken bifogas en CD-skiva. Där finns bland annat unika studioinspelningar som inte tidigare givits ut.

Punken satte instrument i händerna på folk som inte kunde spela och symaskiner framför folk som inte tidigare uttryckt sig genom mode. Plötsligt bildades band och startades fanzines och skivbolag av unga människor som inte ens gått ut grundskolan.
Den svenska punkens "gör det själv"-anda skapade en på många sätt unik undergroundkultur över hela landet. I den här boken ger ett sjuttiotal personer - från Stockholm, Lund/Malmö och Göteborg - som själva var med, sin version av den svenska punken.

Staffan Schöier, Stefan Wermelin 200:-
"Yrke: Povel Ramel". Det var så Povel brukade skriva på myndighetsblanketterna. Hans jobb var att vara Povel Ramel med en lustig hatt, ett par glasögon och gluggen mellan framtänderna som logotyp. På skiva, i radio, på scenen, i tältet, på krogen, i tv gjorde han sitt jobb och roade generationer.
Staffan Schöier och Stefan Wermelin tar er med på en tripp genom en sextioårig artistkarriär.
