Description
'Stanley is both a fine writer and an impassioned celebrant of pop in all its mongrel, misfit glory.'
STUART MACONIE, THE TIMES
There have been many books on pop music but none have attempted to chart its entire story, from the dawn of the charts in the fifties to pop's digital switchover in the year 2000, from Billy Fury and Roxy Music to TLC and Britney via Led Zeppelin and Donna Summer. Audacious and addictive, Yeah Yeah Yeah is a landmark work that will remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place.
