Rebellion always starts somewhere, and in the music world of the transgressive teen whether it be the 1960s of the 2020s, The Velvet Underground represent ground zero. Crystallizing the idea of the bohemian, urban, narcissistic art school gang, around a psychedelic rock and roll band - a stylistic idea that evolved in the rarefied environs of Andy Warhol's Factory - The Velvets were the first major American rock group with a mixed gender line-up; they never smiled in photographs, wore sunglasses indoors, and in the process invented the archetype. They were avant-garde nihilists, writing about drug abuse, prostitution, paranoia, and sado-masochistic sex at a time when the rest of the world was singing about peace and love. Dylan Jones' definitive oral history of The Velvet Underground draws on contributions from remaining members, contemporaneous musicians, critics, film-makers, and the generation of artists who emerged in their wake, to celebrate not only their impact but their legacy, which burns brighter than ever into the 21st century.

Jim Morrison was the lead singer of the Doors and a rock rebel of the 1960s who died in Paris on 7 July 1971. Since his death he has become the quintessential counter-culture pop hero. In researching this biography the author has travelled the world to interview those who were close to Morrison. The result is a detailed and personal portrait of a man whose self-destructive life-style ran parallel with his irrepressible creativity, in a reflection of his impulse towards self-degradation paradoxically twinned with an urgent desire to break on through.

"Drawn from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers, and collaborators, some of whom have never before spoken about their relationship with Bowie, this oral history weaves a hypnotic spell as it unfolds the story of a remarkable rise to stardom and an unparalleled artistic path."--Provided by Publisher.

One of the most creative entrepreneurial periods since the Sixties, the era of the New Romantics grew out of the remnants of post-punk and developed quickly alongside club culture, ska, electronica, and goth. The scene had a huge influence on the growth of print and broadcast media, and was arguably one of the most bohemian environments of the late twentieth century. Not only did it visually define the decade, it was the catalyst for the Second British Invasion, when the US charts would be colonised by British pop music - making it one of the most powerful cultural exports since the Beatles. In Sweet Dreams, Dylan Jones charts the rise of the New Romantics through testimony from the people who lived it. For a while, Sweet Dreams were made of this

Ein brillanter Bildband mit den Fotos des deutschen Fotografen Ralph Larmann dokumentiert die erfolgreichste Stadion-Rocktournee aller Zeiten. Seit ihrer Gründung 1978 hat die irische Rockband U2 um Sänger Bono Vox und Gitarrist The Edge eine beeindruckende Erfolgsgeschichte geschrieben. Mit Alben wie „The Joshua Tree“ und „Achtung Baby“ setzte die Band Maßstäbe in der Musikgeschichte. Von 2009 bis 2011 erreichten U2 mit der Stadion-Tournee „U2 360°“ einen spektakulären Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere, die sie in 30 Ländern auf fünf Kontinenten führte und über sieben Millionen Zuschauer anzog. Diese Tour stellte einen neuen Rekord auf und verdrängte die Rolling Stones vom Thron. Der Bildband „U2 - Die 360° Tour - Um die Welt in 70 Tagen“ bietet eine opulente Sammlung von Ralph Larmanns Fotografien, die als einer der besten Live- und Konzertfotografen gilt. Seit den 90ern fotografiert er U2 und wurde 2011 eingeladen, die US- und Europa-Tour zu begleiten. Sein Zugang zu allen Bereichen der Konzerte ermöglichte es ihm, der Band außergewöhnlich nahe zu kommen. Der Bildband, erschienen am 11. Oktober 2012 im Hannibal Verlag, enthält exklusive Fotos, technische Studien und Beiträge von U2-Musikern sowie ihrem Management. Gestaltet wurde er von Steve Averill, dem langjährigen Grafiker der Band.
