About this title

Synopsis:

The western world was turned upside down by the rock ?n' roll revolution and here's the real lowdown on the rock stars who made it happen ? and what it did to their lives.

From the Publisher:

Reviews of The Mammoth Book of Sex Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll
'this is a fascinating collection of journalism and essays about the excesses of the rock 'n' roll generation' Glasgow Evening Times

'With this collection of essays and extracts, Driver has condensed the very best of irony-free rock writing into one handy reference work....Essential reading for every budding Keith Richards.' Big Issue

'Several entries in this anthology would merit the entrance price for their inclusion alone: Michael Braun's fly-on-the-wall account of the Beatles in 1963; Nick Coleman on Keith Richards ("the only man ever to look good in a guitar"); Jenny Fabian's afternoon in bed with Syd Barrett; Phil Kaufman on his illicit cremation of Gram Parsons.' The Independent
