The Stone Roses (33 1/3)

Alex Green places the Stone Roses within the ecstasy-enhanced playground that was the late 80s Manchester scene and theorizes about what could have been had they maintained the brilliance of this peak performance. Including quotes from and interviews with several of the Roses' contemporaries (Alan McGee, David Gedge, Emma Anderson and others), this book tells the intoxicating story of an album that changed British pop music forever.
