It also includes details of the birth of Zoo TV on the island of Tenerife, U2's struggle to finish the Pop album and its impact on Universal Music and Bono's behind-the-scenes manoeuvres to gain support for his ONE Campaign in the early 2000s.

The Rolling Stones Off the Record
|
Omnibus Press
|
Автор: Mark Paytress
Издательство: Omnibus Press, 2005
|
DOC, 512 страниц, 1.00 МБ
|
While the Mick Jagger of today drips with millions and seems to have become a member of the aristocratic establishment, there was once a time when he and his fellow Rolling Stones were rebels every bit as anti-establishment as the Sex Pistols. They have let slip their true feelings on many occasions and Mark Paytress's book catches them off guard, unearthing statements and interviews long forgotten. Now re-issued in paperback. Rediscovers unguarded and often indiscreet comments and frank opinions that might later have been denied altogether. A verbal documentary laced with the authentic flavour of the rebellious Rolling Stones in their heyday, the craziness that surrounded Mick and Keith and their disintergrating compatriot Brian Jones, the Stone who died from overexposure to everything the Sixties could offer.

Omnibus Press

Автор: Herbert Wise
Издательство: Omnibus Press, 2010

DOC, 168 страниц, 1.00 МБ

This superb new collection of photographs shows a fascinating variety of blues, folk and rock performers as they appeared at events across North America during the second half of the 20th century. The pictures were all taken by Herb Wise, a man who learned his craft from his friend David Gahr, the revered photographer of American folk music performers. Gradually Herb Wise too became a fixture at many of the leading music festivals and, over the years, his easy, unobtrusive style resulted in a wealth of revealing and affectionate photographs. Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Steve Winwood, Blondie and many more are all featured, performing or relaxing, onstage and off.

Eric Whitacre Collection
|
Omnibus Press
|
Автор: Whitacre Eric
Издательство: Omnibus Press, 2010
|
PDF, 56 страниц, 1.68 МБ
|
This a cappella collection of pieces for mixed choir by Eric Whitacre is the first available printed music compilation of its kind for the composer. The book includes pieces of varying difficulty, wide-ranging in theme, from the iconic Sleep and Water Night to the quietly angelic Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold) and the recent Nox Aurumque (Night and Gold). A Boy and a Girl and This Marriage are both wonderfully tender pieces and the inclusion of the early Go, Lovely Rose marks the beginning of a journey through Whitacre's choral output from his first success to the present day.

Classic Queen

Автор: Rock Mick
Издательство: Omnibus Press, 2007

PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ
|
This is the definitive collection by the photographer who provided the essential Queen image. Including over 200 photos in full colour and black and white, the majority of which have never published before, together with contemporary quotes, Mick Rock recalls his life and extraordinary times with the best-selling rock band. Queen were the rarest of breeds: both genius in the studio and utterly brilliant performing live: a potent, magical mixture that has won them fans the world over. Mick Rock was fast becoming the glam-rock photographer du jour when he turned up at Imperial College in November 1973 to take his first shots of the up-and-coming group. Mick's continuing collaboration with Freddie, Brian, Roger and John lasted until 1976 and Queen's legendary free concert in Hyde Park. During this time he helped create the iconic album covers for Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack and conducted solo photo sessions with Freddie and Roger. Previously unseen out-takes and test Polaroids from these sessions are included in the book, as are over 120 live photographs, many of which are being published for the first time.

This is a spectacular photographic record of Led Zeppelin at their peak! No one has captured the romance and mystique of Led Zeppelin on film more successfully than American photographer Neal Preston. His stunning collection of photographs shows Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham in full flight, both on and off stage. Preston was very much part of Led Zeppelin's inner circle. Camera at the ready, his unparalleled access to Zeppelin allowed him to document everything: their majestic performances from the sides of the stage, their travels on private jets, full band rehearsals and private pre-show moments in cloistered dressing rooms. The result is this powerful collection of colour and black and white images that stands as the ultimate visual record of the greatest band of the Seventies.

Freddie Mercury: A Life in His Own Words
|
Omnibus Press
|
Автор: Mercury Freddie
Издательство: Omnibus Press, 2009
|
PDF, 176 страниц, 5.28 МБ
|
Despite being in the limelight for over 20 years and selling nearly 200 million records, Freddie Mercury was a very private person — avoiding interviews as he was painfully shy and uncomfortable in the company of anyone who might intrude upon his famous 'royal family' of close friends. This book takes us on the journey of Queen — three academics and a frustrated art student, tired of having no money, taking on the music industry on their own terms. Spurred on by an almost uncontrollable, ambitious and forthright Mercury, Queen succeeded, becoming the biggest band of the generations to come.The story, told in his own words shows how on many occasions, the band almost split, but was always kept together by their shared love of breaching musical boundaries. Freddie's own personal story is one of pursuing a dream, dealing with wealth and fame, looking back and having no regrets, coming to reflect on his thoughts on getting old, his legacy and death. Though Freddie talked rarely to others about himself, the interviews published — and some unpublished up until now, compiled in this book, together with an intriguing insight into the man who outwardly exuded confidence and arrogance but behind that public perception spent periods alone and searching for happiness.
