Bass guitarist Andy Fraser joined Free at the age of fifteen, and was still a teenager when he co-wrote 'All Right Now'. The song became one of rock's most-played and best-loved anthems. After leaving Free in 1972, Fraser went on to write for Robert Palmer, Chaka Khan, Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart and many others. A period of personal discovery led to Fraser coming out as gay. He contracted HIV in the late 1980s and fought to survive. After finding the right treatment, he was healthy for a long time and remained active as a musician and songwriter. Andy Fraser died of a heart attack in March 2015, at the age of 62.

USA: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2011-07-22. AS NEW. As New. <p><b>REVIEW -</b></p><p>There has been so much written on the negative side of things Joey & his wife Kathy had done or said over the years, they were tarred & feathered without really being able to speak there own mind. I sure am in no position to say what happened over the years. Was some of it true????? I suppose it was, but things are said & done in the heat of the moment, & then regrets set in afterwards. Joey lost his wife a couple of years ago, & hes trying to carry on the Badfinger name the best he can. If he doesn't do it, who else is there to play the tunes, We're not getting any younger any of us, so lets just enjoy the music they produced, & check out what Joey is still doing</p>

Providing fascinating profiles of musicians and bands ranging from the popular and influential Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield to lesser-known artists such as Bakerloo and Black Cat Bones, this collection spans a vibrant period in which blues music enjoyed a significant renaissance due largely to young white musicians who fused it with rock 'n' roll. Exhaustive searches of 1960s and 1970s rock journalism are combined with up-to-date personal interviews to create new, fuller pictures of the musicians who defined this genre, and new light is shed on the riveting dynamics that shaped and ultimately defined combustible groups such as the Yardbirds, Cream, and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Included are in-depth artist biographies, discographies, and discussions of the artists' critical and commercial impact

The book has some tears and creases hence the price but still a great read for Dead fans.

EU: Mimesis International, 2016. NEW. New. David Sylvian may be seen as a philosopher, accordingly to the postmodern spirit, who invalidates identity, while preserving it at the level of non-sound, in a troubled relationship between the ego and the others. His most recent songs have been analysed, as well as the lyrics and Sylvians way of life. Music is the goal of a path of self-realization, which brought Sylvian to conceive a new view of arrangement, increasingly deprived of its frills and capable of magnifying his voice, which that it is uncontainable.
