The Brutal Truth by Hugh Fielder (foreword by Paul du Noyer) is a buzzing, powerful new book offering a race through the first decade of punk, a climactic explosion that changed the face of music for a generation. It takes you from early-to-mid-’70s New York with rough and ready bands such as The Ramones, Television and Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers playing at the CBGB club, and the young, angry scene of London with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Slits, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Generation X and X-Ray Spex, to the late ’70s, when punk rock began to split into sub-genres, spawning the New Wave of punk with the likes of Elvis Costello, Blondie and the Talking Heads. Publication is timed to celebrate the iconic Sex Pistols TV interview that launched punk to a shocked and delighted audience just over 35 years ago.

The unique story of the Clash, by the Clash. The Clash were a band like no other. Pioneers of British punk rock, their incendiary gigs, intelligent songwriting, definitive style and passionate idealism caught the spirit of the times and made them a worldwide phenomenon. Rolling Stone magazine declared London Calling one of the greatest albums of all time, their autobiographical documentary Westway to the World won a Grammy, and their music lives on, influencing emerging bands and exciting new audiences today. This is the first official book to be created by the band. With unprecedented access to the Clash archive, this landmark publication brings together previously unseen material--including tour posters, artwork, and photos of the band at home, on stage, in the studio and on the road--with each member telling it like it was, in their own words. Trendsetters, icons, revolutionaries: their story is steeped in mythology. Many people have an opinion about what made them who they were - this book gives the chance to read the full story, from all four band members themselves.

This work spans the decades of rock 'n' roll from its explosion in the 1950s to the current 1990s music scene.

Features woven into the narrative provide insights into the critical turning points in music history. "Headline News" lists important international current events putting the major music stories in context. Potted biographies, crazes, underground movements and scandals of the time help build a picture of each decade, and the book's photographs also capture the stars, gigs and atmosphere of each era.

Táto kniha je vyvrcholením dlhoročnej spolupráce autora s McCartneym. Zahŕňa všetky ich spoločné rozhovory v pôvodnej podobe – neupravované, len časovo zoradené podľa jednotlivých období McCartneyho života a kariéry. Predstavuje jedinečnú zbierku neprifarbených názorov a spontánnych reakcií hudobníka, ktorého považujú za najúspešnejšieho hudobného tvorcu na svete, a dáva čitateľovi možnosť dozvedieť sa o ňom aj o Beatles viac ako kedykoľvek predtým. Rozhovory sú plné príbehov, ľudí a scén zo zákulisia šoubiznisu. McCartney sa v nich vracia aj k takým zlomovým momentom svojho života, akými boli jeho právne ťahanice po rozpade Beatles, údajná súťaživosť s Johnom Lennonom či pády a úspechy jeho sólovej dráhy.
