Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Book Club Edition. First edition, 1st printing in the Quality Paperback Book Club edition from 1988. Bright, clean & tight copy, gently read, in FINE condition. 'The Work of a Legendary Critic: Rock 'n' Roll as Literature and Literature as Rock 'n' Roll,' Edited by Greil Marcus. "Until his death in 1982 at age 34, Bangs wrote freewheeling rock 'n' roll pieces for Creem, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice and London's NME (New Musical Express). As a rock critic, he was adept at distinguishing the commercially packaged product from the real thing. Written in a conversational, wisecracking, erotically charged style, his impudent reviews and essays explore the connections between rock and the body politic, the way rock stars cow their audiences and how the pursuit of success and artistic vision destroys or makes rock performers as human beings. This collection covers Mick Jagger, John Lennon, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, the Troggs, Lou Reed, Van Morrison, Chicago, the Clash, many more. Marcus, a music critic, is the author of Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music."--Publishers Weekly. "For rockers whose tastes demand more than Madonna and who remember back before Bruce, this is a gem. By turns insightful and hilarious, these collected essays by the late, legendary Banks (mostly accumulated from hard-to-come-by journals like Creem ) constantly astound. If your mind can embrace a shrewdly perceptive essay on the Troggs with the title 'James Taylor Marked for Death,' you also deserve to read the title essay on the Count Five's first album, some amazingly antagonistic love/hate interviews with Lou Reed, and so on. Add to all this a whacked-out sprung prose style (and vocabulary) that would make Gerard Manley Hopkins gasp for air, and you have, well, what you have. For larger music collections, this is, like, highly recommended."--Library Journal. My favorite piece, from 1973: "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, or, The Day the Airwaves Erupted"--priceless. Pristine QPBC paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square-but-hip & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Pairs nicely with my listing RUB1974 for LET IT BLURT: THE LIFE & TIMES OF LESTER BANGS, AMERICA'S GREATEST ROCK CRITIC by Jim DeRogatis.…
