About this product

Product Information

A name synonymous with ground-breaking music, Tony Visconti has worked with the most dynamic and influential names in pop, from T.Rex and Iggy Pop to David Bowie and U2. This is the compelling life story of the man who helped shape music history, and gives a unique, first-hand insight into life in London during the late 1960s and '70s. This memoir takes you on a roller-coaster journey through the glory days of pop music, when men wore sequins and pop could truly rock. Featuring behind-the-scenes stories of big names such as Bowie, Visconti's unique access to the hottest talent, both on stage and off, for over five decades is complemented by unseen photographs from his own personal archive, offering a glimpse at music history that few have witnessed so intimately. Soon after abandoning his native New York to pursue his musical career in the UK, Visconti was soon in the thick of the emerging glam rock movement, launching T.Rex to commercial success and working with the then-unknown David Bowie. Since his fateful move to the land of tea and beer drunk straight from the can, Visconti has worked with such names as T.Rex, Thin Lizzy, Wings, The Boomtown Rats, Marsha Hunt, Procol Harum, and more recently Ziggy Marley, Mercury Rev, the Manic Street Preachers and Morrissey on his acclaimed new album 'Ringleader of the Tormentors'. Even Visconti's personal life betrays an existence utterly immersed in music. Married to first to Siegrid Berman, then to Mary Hopkin and later to May Pang, he counts many of the musicians and producers he has worked with as close friends and is himself a celebrated musician.

Visconti Autobiography
This Books a great read especially if your into the artists he produced: Bowie, Bolan, Thin Lizzy amongst others, There's some interesting stories, Funny stories and the odd sad moment but very insightful as well. He is very fond of Bowie and anti Bolan but hey it's just his opinion and i think you'd need to hear from many others to get a clearer version on what their really like but the fact that Bowie always had a nice word on Bolan in the press and Bolan always ran bowie down in the press goes some way to justifying his position. Finishing up it's not a book about Bowie or Bolan but Visconti and the way these artist helped shape his life, So if you don't mind that and have an interest in production this book is for you
