I was kinda unstuck in time. I'd listened to jazz, soundtracks, musicals & 20th Century classical, and held rock and mainstream pop in disdain until running into US psychedelia (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston) in 1968 and then UK psychedelia about a year later. Then I learned about the British Invasion through friends who had followed it as it happened, and became a huge fan of Small Faces & The Move. When glam happened, I got into that, and only then started listening to some 1st generation artists like Jerry Lee Lewis & The Bobby Fuller Four. Was never really into Chuck Berry or Elvis.
Peter's book looks like something that I would enjoy, since that was one of the first eras that I experienced as it happened. I was lucky enough to see Bowie in 1972 at Carnegie Hall, and both T-Rex and The Stooges (sharing a bill with The MC5) in small clubs.
I first got into Mick Farren with his solo album Mona – The Carnivorous Circus, which I bought as an import in 1970. Then I got into The Deviants starting with Ptooff!, which was 3 years old by the time that I bought it.
