Description
Book SynopsisStill making sensational live appearances on the international concert circuit, the Who have been rivalled only by the Rolling Stones as an enduring rock phenomenon for over half a century.
From their early days as the Detours, they were at the vanguard of the UK mod movement in the mid-1960s, in 1965 striking gold as the Who with “Can’t Explain”, followed by “My Generation” which became a true anthem of its time.
Through the triumphs of Pete Townshend’s ambitious creations in Tommy and Quadrophenia, to the tragedy of the passing of drummer Keith Moon and bass player Jon Entwistle, the book follows the group’s tumultuous history via incisive text, archive reviews and interviews, and a track-by-track summary of all the Who’s studio and live albums.
Sumptuously illustrated with a wealth of colour and black-and-white photography, plus album art and other graphic ephemera, The Who: Much Too Much is a must-have celebration of one of the key names in rock music history.
Trade ReviewAbsolutely brilliant book about the best band to come out of the UK. The photos are class! And the stories about the band are almost unbelievable. Highly recommended!
