| The Sex Pistols tore a swathe of rage and disaffection through the gloom and complacency of British society in 1976 and 1977. Johnny Rotten, Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock are captured from the Sex Pistols' earliest days onwards. Together with manager Malcolm McLaren, latecomer Sid Vicious and other key figures, the band's story is traced via their tours, recordings, public appearances and private moments, up to their ill-fated 1978 US tour and beyond. |

| Roxy Music's sophisticated but chart-friendly rock built them a following far beyond the glam-rock constituency from which they sprang. Under the urbane stewardship of front man Bryan Ferry, the band's key figures – saxophonist Andy Mackay, guitarist Phil Manzanera and drummer Paul Thompson – created a unique sound that has influenced three generations of musicians. This is the first book to couple a comprehensive history of the group with a song-by-song commentary on their entire career. |

Jimmy Sangster is the author of 35 produced movie screenplays and a contributor to 18 networked television series. He now reveals the techniques, the know-how and the creative tricks that propelled him to the top of his profession, both in England and later in Hollywood. The result is an invaluable course in the craft of cinema and television screenwriting, and a sometimes wry look at how films and TV shows actually get made.
Screenwriting also includes three remarkable screenplays. These comprise a brand-new Sangster treatment for Amelia B Edwards' classic ghost story The Phantom Coach (prepared specially for this book), a development script for a sitcom called Dream Girl, and an in-depth analysis of a screenplay entitled Fifty Fifty. |
