About this deal

Among the players were Leapy Lee, Dave Margerrison, Dick Leahy and Daily Mirror editor Richard Stott. Thinking back to my time in the early to mid Sixties around Denmark Street, which was a very small area but was incredibly important in the whole scene at the time.

In 1993 Lauder started "This Way Up" label whose signings included Ian McNabb, [12] The Warm Jets, Tindersticks, Redd Kross and Pal Shazar. A career dating back to the mid-1960s, with Jimi Hendrix, Hawkwind and the Stone Roses enjoying various prominence among dozens of other names, ensures a healthy appreciation for excess prevails – but ultimately, this is a book about the music business that mainly strives to discuss music and business. Lemmy’s first trio came together quickly with Pink Fairies’ guitarist Larry Wallis and drummer Lucas Fox. He's always retained a fan's perspective which, combined with an exceptional knowledge of music, meant he was at ease around musicians and never happier than spending time with them. Press photos have been available to the public for just a few years, and similar to baseball cards, they have attracted investors and collectors.

Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck would come and record there and, as a fan, I would chat with all these people.

Without making a fuss, without bothering - unlike so many -- about raising his own public profile, he applied his knowledge and enthusiasm to the business of identifying interesting musicians and helping them to reach an audience. As well as the unparalleled joy of keeping the publication alive, you'll receive benefits including exclusive editorial, podcasts, and specially-commissioned music by some of our favourite artists.Lemmy said later that it wasn’t down to Motorhead’s excessive behaviour or the long hours but because Dave was really stressed out. I had big brownie points as I’d signed Credence Clearwater Revival for Europe who went on to do really well and tat meant that I kept the job.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

A much published author, his latest book An Evolving Tradition: The Child Ballads in Modern Folk and Rock was released in July 2023. Also, the interest from Europe was amazing, probably because The Stranglers were quite musical, people that couldn’t relate to the other bands, could relate to The Stranglers. You signed the Buzzcocks and 999 to UA as well, were there any other bands in the ‘punk’ movement that eluded you? Family harmonisers from the Deep South, they sang for Superman, played with Lightnin’ Hopkins and met electric Dylan at Newport.
