"I was fascinated by the detailed reconstruction of the very early careers of artists who didn't make their mark until years later. The unheralded connections between artists not usually mentioned in the same breath provides a larger, and more enlightening context than I've seen before in any textual study of Sixties music. I thought I knew most of this stuff but I had no idea how much more there was to learn. A phenomenal research job."

former publisher of Mojo-Navogator Rock & Roll News and Who Put The Bomp

"This book is an exundant tide-almost a tsunami-of information. Plunge in and enjoy!"
