a day by day calender of what was going on in the alternative music scene at that time. record release dates, concert dates,short items about band news, and photos of band posters and album covers. it's great for helping to remember obscure band names and when you may have seen a band in concert.
comes with a great CD with band interviews and songs of the period. an hour+ long rockumentary! With a lot of tracks, rare interviews from performers (like Siouxsie And The Banshees and Psychedelic Furs) and a great narrator THE CD ALONE is worth the price of the book. And worth mentioning that the CD is UNIQUE, you can not get it elsewhere!
Wow -- what an unbelievable labour of love. Like his first book "Punk Rock Diary", George Gimarc has managed to chronical the day to day doings of hundreds of bands (some known, some who are just names to most us) during two of the most pivotal years in modern music. If you like Post Punk/New Wave music, buy this book!
