A Rough Trade Book of the Year''No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.'' - Simon Armitage''Kevin Cummins is a true master in being able to capture the essence of music, the soul of the band. Whatever he does however he does it is a mystery to me but it''s pure genius.'' - Rankin''Few photographers had such a close connection to The Fall as Manchester-based Kevin Cummins, and his new book, Telling Stories, is a rich visual history of one of the city''s most beloved and enduring bands.'' - Record Collector Magazine ''Kevin has the uncanny ability of capturing the inner mood of musicians. Be it the dynamics within a pensive Joy Division, or the sense surrounding the fledgeling Fall that something special was around the corner for us all.

''This book really brings those early years back to me. Kevin''s photographs captured us at the very beginning. This is a must-have book for every Oasis fan.'' Noel Gallagher''As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.'' Paul Morley"Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, Observer''No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.'' Simon Armitage***How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In Oasis: The Masterplan we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity.Noel Gallagher''s thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, Definitely Maybe was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.
