[…] this sort of intervention to be rather bad form. Like the airline pilots, he disturbs the journey only occasionally, usually with a wry aside, as when he notes that: ‘1977 was supposed to be the year of punk, and certainly the music industry believed it to be so, dropping entire rosters of semi-established acts […]

It’s all impeccably labelled and described, with 60 pages of fully sourced notes and 16 documentary appendices.
