Zip It Up! Too
Description
Variety called Trouser Press "one of the greatest music magazines in history." This second compilation of articles from the legendary American rock magazine (1974-'84) features more enthusiastic, in-depth coverage of artists from the '60s to the '80s, classic rock to new wave -- and beyond.
This volume includes all of the magazine's "autodiscographies," a unique Trouser Press feature in which an artist talked about each of their albums, sharing behind-the-scenes memories of making them. From classic rockers like Genesis, Jethro Tull and Jefferson Airplane and Cheap Trick to punks and new wavers like the Damned, Blondie, Ramones and Iggy Pop, these are fascinating first-person documents of real historical value.
An immersion in rock journalism of a form that is no longer widely practiced, Zip It Up! Too contains features that go deep and interviews that ask impertinent questions, all written with wit, intelligence and a willful expression of opinions and values.
Includes articles on:
- Blondie
- The Cars
- Cheap Trick
- The Cure
- Devo
- Duran Duran
- Genesis
- Paul McCartney
- Mott the Hoople
- New Order
- Squeeze
- Lene Lovich
- Missing Persons
- Pretenders
- The Ramones
- Slade
- Talking Heads
- Bill Wyman
- and many more
Trouser Press magazine remains a touchstone for many music fans, who have called it "the bible of alternative music." The first volume of Zip It Up! (also available) was a strong seller.
