Recensioner i media

“A fabulous compilation album of teenage hysteria and rock ‘n’ roll excess.”Bristol Times Editor Eugene Byrne“Highly recommended, even if you don’t like cider.”Joel McIver, Record Collector“Bursting with rock legends, from the Beatles to Bowie, Jimi Hendrix to Tina Turner... but this is bigger than a music book, more like a rich feast of juicy, gossipy social history”Stephen Dalton, Classic Rock
