“Play That Fast Thing One More Time – The Rockpile Story” is the book about the English band Rockpile, the masters of up-tempo pop and rock. We started work on it just over four years ago, and the result is a luxurious A4-format hardback book running to a full 316 pages.
It should also be noted that this is an entirely new book, with fresh material, and not a new edition of our first book about the band, “Crawling from the Wreckage – A Tribute to Rockpile”. The book covers the band’s entire lifespan, from the days of Love Sculpture and Brinsley Schwarz, through their formation at the end of 1976 right up to the bitter end in February 1981.
It features a foreword by Allan Jones (formerly of Melody Maker and Uncut), and an afterword by Will Birch (drummer with Kursaal Flyers and The Records, as well as a music journalist and author). The book also includes a number of new interviews, among them with Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Gregg Geller, and Will Birch, along with updated interviews with Roger Bechirian, Aldo Bocca, Neill King, Barry “Bazza” Farmer, Andy Cheeseman, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams.
