Music Related Books

Cool, didn't know this thread existed. I recently added music books to my thrift store list of things to look for but no luck yet. Would be a great addition to my music room.
 
Went to GW today. I was on the last row of books without any luck and then I spotted this from 1965 (reprint).

"We got the Neutron Bomb", a history of the LA punk scene is a great read.

I read, "Cheetah Chrome: A Dead Boy's Tale" last year. Great read too, for fans of the Cleveland scene, the New York scene, and Stiv Bators.
 
Love Comes To Buildings On Fire, about the late 70s New York music scene. Absolutely fascinating.
Follow it with Rip It Up And Start Again, about the postpunk era, and you've got more great history and perspective.
 
I got a good one....Guns, Cash, and RocknRoll. It's about the 60's and 70's rock music managers and lost $$$ for tons of bands. Popular bands. Great reading and most of these groups would have done better in the sport of boxing and dealing with Don King instead.
 
I found this at an Antique Shop, of all places. An Antique it is not, but you find stuff where you find it, and a lucky find is a lucky find regardless of where you found it. The shop was selling a rack of books for $1.00 each, probably just to get them out of the store or his home.

If you are a West Coast Jazz Fan like I am, this is a stellar read.
