Like Magic in the Streets: Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, the Go-Betweens, the Smiths, the Blue Nile and the End of Romance

Tim Blanchard

4.9/5 (13116 ratings)

Description:Like Magic in the Streets tells the curious stories behind the making of much-loved indie LPs: You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever, High Land, Hard Rain, Before Hollywood, The Smiths and A Walk Across the Rooftops. Music that couldn’t have been made at any other time, shaped by the upheavals of the early Eighties.The book captures the mood of what it felt like to live under the rule of Queen Elizabeth II and Mrs Thatcher in the new-build landscape of flyovers and underpasses, concrete shopping centres and civic parks, to be night-walking under the sodium glare of streetlights to empty bus stations, reeking pubs and spangled discos. It’s not the story of the rise of indie or how a great musical lineage changed the world. It’s about a short-lived and failed romance, a defeat, and why that might be more important and interesting than any Eighties’ success story.“A beautiful journey.”David Scott, BBC Classic Scottish Albums“An amazing book. I couldn't put it down. Meticulously researched and continuously compelling, I learnt a lot about these five seminal albums I didn't know myself.”Craig Gannon, Aztec Camera/the Smiths“I still can’t comprehend how Tim managed to get so much out of me about that time. And then he writes it all so beautifully, with such care and understanding.”Lindy Morrison, the Go-Betweens “Like Magic is an enjoyable and illuminating study of five seminal indie albums from the early 80s. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to produce two of these, Before Hollywood by the Go-Betweens and High Land, Hard Rain by Aztec Camera. Tim has brought together the stories around the making of these albums, giving rich insight to both the artists and the music of the period.”John Brand, ProducerWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
