I think the McLagan book must be out of print. I got rid of mine as I found his writing style a bit annoying. Shame as used copied are surprisingly expensive.

I’ve got an ancient faded blue linen suit type jacket which is now too big for me and doesn’t even have the style of Talking Heads era David Byrne but I love it. I’ve got a small cast pin of a BBC-Marconi Type A […]
