From the jacket blurb of "If You Want to Get to Heaven":

It's 1973 and Rick Harrington has just earned a degree in music. His teachers tell him he's got golden ears. Play a jazz chord and he'd whistle the inside voicings with ease'if he could only whistle. Hard to do when you've got cerebral palsy. Hard to get anything going when the world won't cut you a break. But his break finally comes when his brother Kid, a rock-and-roller, needs a soundman and Rick is swept into a rip-roaring rock-and-roll circus of sex, drugs, and ambition.

'Not because of your condition or anything,' a mysterious beauty says to him in the midst of a post-concert bash, 'but this doesn't seem like your scene.' 'What other scene do I have?' he asks her. Kid Chrysler and the Cruisers are his shot at life in the real world'though unreal might better define the lifestyle of a rock band.

Confronted the next day by a bathroom door too narrow for a wheelchair, Kid tells Rick 'The old family tradition, bro. Time to hop aboard the Chrysler Express.' He's carried on his brother's back again. When will it stop? When will Rick's talent, not his brother's interventions, be enough to open a door of opportunity?

IF YOU WANT TO GET TO HEAVEN is about brothers in harmony and discord, about the triumphs and tragedies of a rock-and-roll band on the road, and about one very special man you won't forget.

This book has something that is sorely lacking in many textbooks. It is easy to read without skimping on the technical material, and a must for geology students, especially those with an interest in petrology. Ample examples are given and fully explained in context on a wide range of concepts essential to the students understanding. While perhaps not as in depth as Wilson, this book is comprehensive, well structured and provides a more than adequate introduction to the fascinating world of igneous petrology. Two thumbs up!

Formed in Early 1969 and playing one of their first shows outside England's Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, Hawkwind has always been at the forefront of musical exploration. Until now, getting a cogent perspective on the band's recorded oveure and ever-changing personnel has been as elusive as reading the spinning label of a 45 rpm record. Robert Godwin has undertaken this arduous task, and the results are close to stellar. With the help of Hawkwind members Dave Brock and Michael Moorcock (Moorcock contributed heavily in the lyric dept. in the 70s),Godwin has created a reference tool which is exhaustive in its scope and in every way essential. Tracing the band as buskers in England's Ladbroke Grove through countless benefit gigs and hallucinogen-fueled pyrotechnic excursions into the realms of high psychedelia, Godwin chronicles rehearsal tapes, bootlegs and studio outtakes as well as the band's 100+ vinyl and CD releases. Songs are cross-referenced by title as are the near epic-length space jams, EPs and singles. A must for every collector of 60s-90s psychedelia and an entertaining read for the uninitiated, Robert Godwin's Illustrated Collector's Guide to Hawkwind has "Quark, Strangeness and Charm."

This book answered questions I've had for years about my collection of hot rod music. There should be many people out there looking for this book. It may not be completely comprehensive, but who'd know. If it had had better distribution, maybe there'd have been revisions and second editions. Personally I'd really like to see a 1950's version of this book.

Buy this book and check it against your list. You'll be glad you did.

Greastest thing since sliced bread! Giuliano really brings out the true picture of Clapton. If there is one thing Giuliano can do better than write is print these wonderful rare photographs. This book is well put together. 5 stars from me.

Popular Culture writer George Plasketes lays tracks through "the mystery terrain" of American culture since Elvis began his second career in 1977. This book is a must read for Elfans and Presley-phobes, as well as those with earnest interest or casual curiosity. Whether you think Elvis is king or kitsch or you are just wondering why E.P. has dominated the cultural landscape of the late 20th Century this book is for you. Cultural scholars and students will find the comprehensive bibliography, discography and filmography/videography priceless.

a life captured in less than 30 pages.. truely brillant....a wonderful song...lennon is the ruler of rock...I was brought to tears

This is a good book of sheet music. It includes: Pics from the CD. Large sized book(like all these type books) Five pages of cool insightful tips about the songs. The back cover has the pic from the back of the CD and it just looks really cool. I learned some words in songs I was getting wrong. ~:-)
