Book Reviews of CREEM: America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine
Book Review: Great Rock n' Roll History...
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up in the 70's and Creem along with Melody maker out of the UK and Bomp which was never really regular. The history in this book is amazing. Infact the only thing I can say that is negative is I read my old issues so many times that as I read this book I knew every word!!!!! lol
I am not a good reviwer on this book because I love it to death. If you like this book can I say check out "Bomp: Changing the world one record at a time!!!!!!
Book Review: It's not perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
What would make this book perfect is if it was single issues bound as one. Complete issues from cover to cover.
Instead we get a great compilation of a great magazine. I don't care much for the 80's stuff, but it is what it is - the magazine was around the 80's.
The best part is the Boy Howdy ads, the Stars and Their Cars photos and the cover gallery (not complete by any stretch).
I love this book though!
Book Review: Boy Howdy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book captures the attitude and motor oil drenched swagger of the magazine beautifully! The photographs, the "Boy Howdy" beer ads,the articles that make you feel like you're at the show,and then backstage,it's all there! It's a great book that I will keep next to my toilet for many years to come. A "Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa" to the authors for allowing me to be who I am, and let me kick out the jams!Book Review: Blast from the Past.
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually I would much rather read about Sparks, Mitch Ryder or The Dead Boys then those boring artist you mentioned, This is a great book, Good Stuff On the MC5,Stooges,The Dolls and the Stones, Buy!!Book Review: Excellent Retrospective-Boy Howdy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Certainly a different flavor of magazine for those whose knowledge of R n' R begins and ends with Rolling Stone.
A "Can't go wrong" book for a R n' R fan.
