By James Burns<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThe Butthole Surfers<\/strong> remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock. Most of their records have no information of any kind. They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they\u2019ve attracted. This explosive 10th anniversary edition of Let\u2019s Go To Hell<\/em> dives even deeper into the chaos, danger, and raw power of one of the most controversial bands ever to rise from the wreckage of punk. Author James Burns<\/strong> returns with new interviews, shocking revelations, and fresh insights that crank the volume even higher. Let\u2019s Go To Hell<\/em> pulls together scattered, half-mad memories into a full-throttle, no-holds-barred chronicle of the band\u2019s rise, fall, and enduring infamy. Packed with exclusive interviews, never-before-seen photos, and deep analysis of their sprawling catalog \u2014 both recorded and lost to legend \u2014 Let\u2019s Go To Hell<\/em> finally tells the story that was thought (and in some circles, prayed) would never see the light of day.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rush 1984 To 2015: Every Album, Every Song<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By James Richards<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cThis volume is the followup to Rush 1973 to 1982<\/em>. Fans who hoped that 1982\u2019s keyboard heavy Signals<\/em> had been a one-off were to be disappointed. In line with their desire never to make the same album twice, the infamous \u2018synth era\u2019 began. Albums such as Power Windows <\/em>and Hold Your Fire<\/em> split the fan base, with the old guard resenting the changes in both instrumentation and songwriting. New followers joined the fold, however, and the band\u2019s popularity in album sales and concert receipts continued to grow. Rush<\/strong> were never ones for treading water, as subsequent releases into the 1990s showed a gradual but welcome return to the guitar-centric power-trio format. A double family tragedy for drummer Neil Peart<\/strong> seemed to signal the end of the band, with the signoff triple live album Different Stages<\/em> appearing in 1997. But five years later a reformed Rush<\/strong> released a series of new albums, culminating in the magnificent concept record, Clockwork Angels<\/em>. This book reviews all the band\u2019s studio and live releases from 1984\u2019s Grace Under Pressure<\/em> to the final, farewell live album, R40<\/strong>, in 2015, issued five years before Peart\u2019s retirement and tragically early death in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

From irascible rogue to national treasure, pop star to social commentator, cockney geezer to artist, he was a man greater than the sum of his parts. Part teddy boy, part punk, part vaudeville act; he was unique. The music that emanates from this powerful personality echoes the heart and drive of their complex creator. Dury began his career as a frontman with post-punk outfit Kilburn And The High Roads<\/strong>, but had his greatest success with backing band The Blockheads<\/strong>, which featured Chis Jankel<\/strong> and Wilko Johnson<\/strong> at various times. He found true commercial success with the albums New Boots And Panties<\/em> and Do It Yourself<\/em>. Dury went on to a critically acclaimed solo career and worked with The Blockheads<\/strong> again on the 1997 album Mr Love Pants<\/em>.

By George Haffenden<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cAs one of the greatest acts to come out of Motown Records<\/strong>, the influence of The Temptations<\/strong> cannot be overstated. Their catalogue of classic hits and their performances have set the standard for all male groups that followed. The classic lineup of Otis Williams<\/strong>, Melvin Franklin<\/strong>, Paul Williams<\/strong>, Eddie Kendricks<\/strong> and David Ruffin<\/strong> created a legacy that has endured to this day. Aided by William \u2018Smokey\u2019 Robinson<\/strong>, and later Norman Whitfield<\/strong>, the group had hits such as Get Ready<\/em>, Ain\u2019t Too Proud To Beg<\/em> and, of course, My Girl.<\/em> This lineup only lasted four years, but they created such an impressive legacy and following that the group has been able to carry on until the present day. The introduction of Dennis Edwards<\/strong> in 1968 coincided with a new style of music for the group \u2014 produced by Whitfield, dubbed \u2018psychedelic soul\u2019 and inspired by Sly & The Family Stone<\/strong> \u2014 that gave the group a second act of new hits. However, by 1972, only Williams and Franklin would remain from the classic lineup and the hits were becoming more elusive. This book explores their releases from their founding to 1978, when the group had endured further personnel changes and a change in record label. It examines the group\u2019s triumphs and struggles during this period, and tells a remarkable story of persistence and longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
