George Harrison Bok
<b>From the the author of the million-copy selling <i>Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation</i> and the bestselling <i>John Lennon: The Life comes </i>a revealing portrait of George Harrison, the most undervalued and mysterious Beatle.</b><br/><br/>Despite being hailed as one of the best guitarists of his era, George Harrison, particularly in his early decades, battled feelings of inferiority. He was often the butt of jokes from his bandmates owing to his lower-class background and, typically, was allowed to contribute only one or two songs per Beatles album out of the dozens he wrote.<br/><br/>Now, acclaimed Beatles biographer Philip Norman examines Harrison through the lens of his numerous self-contradictions. Compared to songwriting luminaries John Lennon and Paul McCartney he was considered a minor talent, yet he composed such masterpieces as 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and 'Here Comes the Sun', and his solo debut album 'All Things Must Pass' achieved enormous success, appearing on many lists of the 100 best rock albums ever. Modern music critics place him in the pantheon of Sixties guitar gods alongside Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page.<br/><br/>Harrison railed against the material world yet wrote the first pop song complaining about income tax. He spent years lovingly restoring his Friar Park estate as a spiritual journey, but quickly mortgaged the property to help rescue a film project that would be widely banned as sacrilegious, Monty Python's<i> Life of Brian</i>. Harrison could be fiercely jealous, but not only did he stay friends with Eric Clapton when Clapton fell in love with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, the two men grew even closer after Clapton walked away with her.<br/><br/><b>Unprecedented in scope and filled with numerous colour photos, this rich biography captures George Harrison at his most multi-faceted: devoted friend, loyal son, master guitar-player, brilliant songwriter, cocaine addict, serial philanderer, global philanthropist, student of Indian mysticism, self-deprecating comedian and, ultimately, iconic artist and man beloved by millions.</b>

My Effin' Life Bok
<p><strong>The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and bestselling author of <em>Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass.</em></strong></p><p>Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush. Here for the first time is his account of life inside and outside the band.</p><p>Long before Rush accumulated more consecutive gold and platinum records than any rock band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, before the seven Grammy nominations or the countless electrifying live performances across the globe, Geddy Lee was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather murdered in the Holocaust.</p><p>As he recounts the transformation, Lee looks back on his family, in particular his loving parents and their horrific experiences as teenagers during World War II.</p><p>He talks candidly about his childhood and the pursuit of music that led him to drop out of high school.</p><p>He tracks the history of Rush which, after early struggles, exploded into one of the most beloved bands of all time.</p><p>He shares intimate stories of his lifelong friendships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart-deeply mourning Peart's recent passing-and reveals his obsessions in music and beyond.</p><p>This rich brew of honesty, humor, and loss makes for a uniquely poignant memoir.</p>

The boy in the paisley shirt (+ 7") Bok
Limiterad utgåva med en Shakers 7" vinyl singel innehållande låtarna "Day tripper" / "I don't need that kind of loving".<br/><br/>Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Hendrix, Dusty och Tages - 60-talets musikexplosion i Göteborg sedd genom Hans Sidéns kamera.<br/><br/>Han satt så nära John Lennon att han hade kunnat röra vid hans fötter om han lutat sig fram när Beatles spelade på Lorensbergs Cirkus i oktober 1963. Han tjatade med Rolling Stones i ett rum på Park Avenue Hotell, gick på diskoteket Hvita Dufvan med The Who och åt middag med The Troggs. Han liftade med Tages till Stockholm och Hep Stars till Borås, bjöd hem Cat Stevens på hemmagjord pizza, lånade ut travar med Stax- och Tamla Motown-singlar till Clem Dalton som var importerad dj på Lisebergs Pop In Club och hängde på vartenda soundcheck när stjärnorna kom till stan. Journalisten och författaren Hans Sidén befann sig ständigt på första parkett under 60-talet när musikscenen exploderade i Göteborg. Hans fotografier är ett vibrerande vittnesmål om ett lika avlägset som förunderligt närvarande decennium. The Boy in the Paisley Shirt är hans historia sedd genom kameran.
