NEW FRENCH BOOK = "GARAGELAND"by Ungemuth Nicolas

HEYA, I guess some of you have already heard of this (I hope I don't doublepost this here...)

There's a new book out in France featuring some classic Garagebands and page spreads with their album covers. I haven't seen it myself, but here's Amazon Shmamazon.

And also two write ups:

A short one in english,

and a longer one in french.

Hope you dig it! If anyone has it or buys it it would be cool if you post what you think of it here!

...About the man, let's say that the little I know about him ( some kinda mod listening to Barbara McNair in his nice looking apartment with framed James Bond ost on the walls and writing for crappy magazines ) makes me quite sick...

By the way, why am I writing about this ???
Sorry, I'm going back with the dead right now...

Can't say much for the garage resumes of Procal Harum and Cat Stevens though...
