Book Synopsis
In a city that has produced more than its fair share of musical heroes, Ian Moss remains a steadfast figure in the Manchester musical underground. As one of the handful of people who were actually at the first Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester in June 1976, and the co-creator of the legendary band Hamsters, that John Peel described as being too dark and dangerous to appear on his Radio 1 show, Ian has often found himself at the cusp of key events in the evolution of music in the city. 45 THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK traces the development of his musical taste during his teenage years as a self-confessed ''misfit''. The records selected here provided him with ''an escape from humdrum routine'' before teenage emotional crises made them take on even more importance as the ''oxygen'' keeping him alive, later admitting that ''without music I was nothing''. This first volume covers Ian''s growth from callow teenager to young adult during the golden years of popular music.
