Re: What books am I missing?
I'm imagining a story that features a young drummer, probably has an affection for high fibre food and a bizarre aversion to redheads, who dreams of seeing the Clash, and when he finally gets the chance, it's Terry behind the kit. And our hero, distraught, turns to engineering.101Walterton wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 1:59pmJust what the world needs another Clash coming of age story.WestwayKid wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 8:32amThose "FAQ" books can be pretty fun.

Re: What books am I missing?
Thx to all. I'm looking for a day by day account (and recordings) of the Rope sessions. Hope springs eternal. Looks like Route 19 it is... I'll read it while my collection of barely listenable audience tapes plays... Its been 40 years now, have we heard everything that was recorded from the early years? If anyone is hoarding "private" or "no trade" recordings, shame on you. Shame, I say!! BasingSt1978

I enjoyed reading Route 19 whilst listening to LC and the Vanilla Tapes. Some of the songs took on a whole new meaning and some just made sense.BasingSt78 wrote: ↑09 Jan 2018, 5:11pmThx to all.
