It's Time The Tale Were Told - A People's History of The Smiths is the story of one of the UK's most influential indie bands in the words of over 500 fans. From memories of their earliest club shows through to the last ever gig at London's Brixton Academy, this is a portrait of The Smiths as painted by the fans. With personal photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and first-hand accounts of more than 100 gigs, readers will get a front row view of the indie music legends. Based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Marr, The Smiths' 1985 album Meat Is Murder topped the UK album charts and their other three studio albums reached No 2. The band broke up in 1987 and have resisted invitations to reunite.

All The Young Punks is an oral history of The Clash. The Clash graduated from sweaty London clubs in the punk explosion of 1976 to become an internationally acclaimed rock act playing arenas and sports stadia. With singer Joe Strummer at the helm and Mick Jones writing guitar riffs that mixed glam rock with uptown Jamaica, The Clash turned the excitement level up to 11 every time they hit the stage.Remembered for Strummer’spolitical pronouncements, anthems like ‘White Riot’, ‘Complete Control’ and ‘IFought The Law’ and hit singles including ‘Bank Robber’, ‘Should I Stay OrShould I Go’ and ‘Rock The Casbah’, The Clash were the only band that matteredfor a whole generation. 40 years after they split comestheir story as over 300 fans recall almost 150 different shows. This book capturesin words the sights no Clash fan will ever forget: the spittle-fuelled passion ofsinger-guitarist Joe Strummer, hanging off the microphone stand whilst stampinghis foot; guitarist Mick Jones racing back and forth across the stage; PaulSimonon throwing shapes and a thunderous bass line into the mix; and drummerTopper Headon holding it all together with a ‘boom boom’ six-gun beat. With a foreword by BillyBragg, this is a Clash book unlike any other.
