Reviews
'In Max Decharne's thoroughly researched and entertaining book, the ghosts of London's past collide almost on every page.' Louder Than War; 'Razor-sharp history of London's coolest rock route. A towering feat... the threads linking the cultural hotspots and characters are so skilfully woven. Essential for swingers and squares alike.' 8* Classic Rock; 'As a trawl through the glitz and glamour of the King's Road, this is heard to beat. Decharne's research, which takes in everything from political weeklies to underground pop magazines, is impressive and unimpeachable, and he whisks the reader along in brisk and witty prose.' --Sunday Times; '[A] highly enjoyable book... Max Decharne uses the long spine of the road, and the ribs of the adjoining streets, as a skeleton which he fleshes out with the artistic, musical and sartorial developments flourishing in these few squares of the London A-Z.' --Independent; 'Exhilarating, informative, chatty and hip... Decharne 's frantic, fact-packed book superbly captures all the buzz and lunatic frivolity of a street that has consistently been at the cutting edge of all that is new in theatre, fashion and film'. --Daily Mail
