Zip It Up! The Best of Trouser Press Magazine 1974 - 1984

di Ira A. Robbins (Autore)

Trouser Press Books, 2024

Published for a decade, from 1974 to 1984, Trouser Press — once billed as "America's Only British Rock Magazine" but later called by some "the bible of alternative rock" — provided enthusiastic and knowledgeable coverage of independently made and released music as well as artists from many genres: classic rock, glam, pub rock, art rock and prog, punk, new wave, reggae, techno-pop and post-punk, many of them early in their now-legendary careers. This far-reaching and extensive anthology, edited and newly annotated by one of the magazine's co-founders, is an immersion in rock journalism of a form that is no longer widely practiced: features that go deep into artists' history and interviews that ask the impertinent questions, all written with wit, intelligence and a willful expression of opinions and values. Includes vintage articles on Adam Ant, Syd Barrett, Black Flag, Black Uhuru, Ritchie Blackmore, Blondie, Kate Bush, Cheap Trick, the Clash, Elvis Costello, the Cure, Devo, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Brian Eno, Eurythmics, Bryan Ferry, Robert Fripp, Gang of Four, Genesis, the Go-Go's, Human League, Joan Jett, Joy Division, the Kinks, Kiss. Nick Lowe, Malcolm McLaren, New York Dolls, Jimmy Page, Iggy Pop, Public Image Ltd., Ramones, Lou Reed, R.E.M., Residents, Todd Rundgren, Sex Pistols, Small Faces, Sparks, Television, Peter Tosh, T. Rex, U2, the Who, X, X-Ray Spex and Frank Zappa.
