I dischi dei Velvet Underground sono la storia delle persone che vi hanno suonato, il documento di una crescita di vita e non solo di musica: fra l'inizio e la fine, ci sono decine di storie e di esperienze. Tutte le canzoni stabiliscono un collegamento, per non far sentire solo chi ascolta. Io penso che sia importante che la gente non si senta sola." (Lou Reed). Una monografia estremamente curata, corredata da immagini, interviste, conversazi...

The Velvet Underground is arguably one of the most influential American rock bands ever. Based on interviews with former members Lou Reed, John Cale, and Sterling Morrison, as well as others from Andy Warhol's circle of artistic collaborators, Up-Tight is the definitive oral and visual history of the band and its revolutionary, often avant-garde music. Bockris and Malanga's intelligent and entertaining approach-which does not shy away from the...

In 1992, Victor Bockris's celebrated biography was the first to recognise Richards's pivotal role in the legend of the Rolling Stones. Now that book on rock's most incredible survivor has been expanded. Here are the true facts behind Richards' battles with his demons: the women, the drugs and the love-hate-relationship with Jagger. His struggle with heroin and his status as the rock star most likely to die in the 1970s. His scarcely believab...

Here, accompanied by dozens of unique photographs, are the very best of Victor Bockris's infamous interviews, essays, and observations on the stars of downtown Manhattan in the 1970s and 1980s. The internationally acclaimed biographer Bockris was there as a witness, friend, collabourator, and co-conspirator. Some of the stars were founding members of Beat or Punk, others were just passing through. But all of them, rockers, rebels, artists, and...

The various clouds cast by the grandeur of Keith Richards's legendary status are finally dissipated in this book: his drug use, his coalition with Mick Jagger, his conspiracies with characters such as Dylan, Lennon, Clapton, McCartney, Marley, Berry, and Bowie, his sexual escapades and his two persistent lovers (Anita Pallenberg and Patti Hansen), his strenuous recording sessions, and his peaceful country life in a mansion in Connecticut."

Burroughs, the eccentric, brilliant artist who burned the bridge with logic and wrote the classic Naked Lunch, has a court recorder in Victor Bockris. Bockris has collected into a cogent whole the man's most brilliant moments of conversation, thinking, and interview repartee. This fascinating material, gleaned from the fertile time at Burroughs's New York headquarters, the Bunker (which was located on the Bowery, three blocks from CBGB), encom...
