Review by Patricia Smithson:
"I was utterly enchanted by this book! It not only serves as a cultural history but also as a personal journey through a Sheffield of yesteryears. The vibrant nightlife and the music scene of the 1950s are captured with such authenticity and joy. A brilliant read that's both informative and heartwarmingly nostalgic - I particularly loved the information on Saturday night dances at Sheffield City Hall."

Eddie Cochran - The Complete Final Tour Experience – The Ultimate Collector's Collection
Hard times for those who find something nice on the other side of the Chanel, but as a Gretsch addict and Cochran fan, I could not resist and ordered...
Just the first look was overwhelming, and when I started to read there was a pleasent contradiction between wishing to keep on reading and the need to have break from so much detailled information, just in time to go throught the pages, enjoying the collection of nicely presented fotos.
Great times, beeing able to find books as beautiful as this - and bad times regarding the harm Brexit has done and is doing to customers and comerce: again, shipping and taxes between UK and EU resulted being the same amount as the price of the book, and that is the bitter pill.
Vary good as ,I met in Grantham from were I come from the book is vary good well done
smooth transaction from start to finish.
