Something Beginning with O

Rate this book
A4 size book that gives something of a history of Mod, with a couple of side journeys into punk and pop - a look at "the obsessives, outsiders and risk takers." Loads of black and white photos to accompany the essays. Collectable and rare title.

Libro tan breve y contundente como las canciones de las que habla. Lleno de pasión por un ideal mod. Acercándose a él a través de lúcidas y tajantes definiciones acerca de música, ropa, citas literarias y las carreras rutilantes de Paul Weller, Vic Godard y Kevin Rowland. Trazando una línea comunicativa entre el primer modernismo y el punk. En medio, The Action, The Who, The Creation, Small Faces, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Jam, The Fall, Sex Pistols y demás nombres ilustres. Todos compartiendo una pasión, una urgencia, un ideal. Todos pioneros. Un libro inspirador, al que voy a regresar siempre.
