Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Muddy Waters came to London at the start of the 60s, a kid from Boston called Joe Boyd was his tour manager; when Dylan went electric at the Newport Festival, Joe Boyd was plugging in his guitar; when the summer of love got going, Joe Boyd was running the coolest club in London, the UFO; when a bunch of club regulars called Pink Floyd recorded their first single, Joe Boyd was the producer; when a young songwriter named Nick Drake wanted to give his demo tape to someone, he chose Joe Boyd. More than any previous 60s music autobiography, Joe Boyd?s White Bicycles offers the real story of what it was like to be there at the time. His greatest coup is bringing to life the famously elusive figure of Nick Drake ? the first time he's been written about by anyone who knew him well. As well as the 60s heavy-hitters, this book also offers wonderfully vivid portraits of a whole host of other musicians: everyone from the great jazzman Coleman Hawkins to the folk diva Sandy Denny, Lonnie Johnson to Eric Clapton, The Incredible String Band to Fairport Convention. 'As a memoir of the enchanted Sixties, White Bicycles is among the elite. It isn't just that Boyd was among the era's movers and shakers, he has a rare recall of events ('I never got too stoned,' he confesses) and a fluid, engaging style. The book bristles with evocative anecdotes. Exhilarating' Observer Music Monthly 'This engaging and readable book is an important addition to the history of its time?terrific?pleasantly gossipy' Hanif Kureishi, New Statesman ?Reading Boyd's cracking account of the Sixties, you wonder if his life since hasn't been one long disappointment? It's a colourful story, beautifully told? You are left relieved that such a central figure wrote this exceptional memoir.? Mark Ellen, Observer ?a vivid eye-witness account? pulses with the mad enthusiasms of its period and its author? Sunday Times 'An unashamed celebration of Boyd's pivotal role in the Sixties' The Times ?Boyd is one of that select group of rock luminaries, like John Peel, or the American producer Rick Rubin, who didn't have to pick up a guitar to shape the evolution of entire genres of music. And this book is the perfect literary echo of a lifetime's subtle facilitation? Boyd's pages abound with astute observations and fascinating personal detail? a transport of delight? Independent on Sunday '[A] riveting memoir' Time Out 'A wise, thoughtful and engrossing account, White Bicycles is one of the best 1960's essays of recent years' The Scotsman ?a rock memoir that shuns the usual 60s clich?s? while providing insightful character studies of Brit-folk's future stars? refreshing and cleverly observed? Uncut ?compulsive quirky detail, rare sanity and razor sharp recall? puts it in the same bracket as Simon Napier Bell's Black Vinyl White Powder or Julian Cope's Head On. A delight.? The List ?Among the musical anecdotes are thoughtful observations on the era? Boyd remains a true believer, for whom it was a joy to have been alive in that permissive dawn. At 40 years' distance, his prose still conveys the hues of the sunrise with startling vividness.? The Times 'If there's such a thing as living a perfectly timed life, then Joe Boyd has managed it. impossible to put down' Q ?Packed full of funny, telling anecdotes and wry, insightful observation, it takes us on a fantastic musical adventure? fRoots ?Boyd's account far exceeds the breadth of most rose-tinted ruminations? detailed and lucid? A wise, thoughtful and engrossing account, White Bicycles is one of the best 1960s essays of recent years.? Scotsman. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition Signed
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First published in 2006 by Serpent's Tail, 3rd printing. Signed & inscribed to bookseller on top of title page: "To Mark, Joe Boyd" at MASS MoCA reading/performance he gave with Robyn Hitchcock on 3/12/2011. Bright, clean & tight copy of Paperback Original, gently read, in Near Fine condition, 282pp w/producer's discography & Index. "I guess one of the reasons I ended up here talking to you is that 15 to 20 years ago, people started asking me about the '60s. It's one of the things I still don't tire of people asking me about because I like puncturing illusions," said Joe Boyd at MASS MoCA during the 'Robyn Hitchcock & Joe Boyd--Live & Direct From 1967' tour. "Joe Boyd's first proper job at 21 was bringing Muddy Waters to Britain in 1964. When Dylan went electric at Newport the following year, Boyd was the stage manager. His first session as a record producer was Eric Clapton's original 'Crossroads'. A year later, he had produced Pink Floyd's first single and installed them in his UFO Club, the heart of psychedelic London in 1967. With the help of the Incredible String Band, Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention, he arranged the brief but intense marriage between pop music and British folk. He discovered, produced and managed Nick Drake. He loved the Swedish songwriters he heard on a trip to Stockholm in 1970--two years before they created ABBA--but not enough to turn down a job in California where he produced soundtracks for Deliverance and A Clockwork Orange and the definitive documentary on Jimi Hendrix. He lived--and helped shape--the Sixties--and he remembers it." [publisher copy] 'Joe Boyd knows'--Kate Bush. 'What a wonderful book! I was so engrossed I missed my train station. A gripping piece of social history and the best book about music I've read in years'--Brian Eno. 'An insightful and deeply evocative memoir of a truly enchanted era as seen through the still-razor-sharp mind of one of the great talent-magnets of the 20th century'--Nick Kent. Pristine & handy paperback w/brilliant corners & sharp edges, a b&w photos insert, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; Quite presentable. Signed by Author(s).
