Yet another Roxy book is scheduled for publication next spring: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/178 ... 1OLE&psc=1 Only 160 pages, so whether it's worth £15.99 and whether it might contain anything new... |

.....and who is drummer Phil Thompson? That may be an indication of the historical accuracy of the book. J.O'B |

The author has apparently written over 150 books (!) so I suspect he doesn't do a lot of original research when setting off on a new topic. Sigh. I suspect this will turn out to be a "clip job" in newspaper speak. He'll get a bunch of clips from what others have already written and string them together to tell a familiar story. I wonder if he'll make note of "pit ponies" in the history of BF's origins? |

I’m over half way through this Decades edition from Dave Thompson and although I enjoy other views on Roxy this book leaves a lot to be desired. He obviously knows his stuff but there is a definite feeling of a rushed project. Careless misspellings and probably worst of all so far is a description of the two co-writes on Stranded. After discussing Andy’s contribution he claims that Phil must have written the first part of Mother of Pearl as his contribution to the credits on this LP. A simple check of the album sleeve would have told him which song was the actual Manzanera co-write, but maybe he just didn’t have the time! A bit disappointing what with the other news that Jocelyn’s book has been delayed until August by the printing in China. |
