A Times,Rough Trade and Uncut Book of the Year,shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize 2015.Original Rockers is a clear-eyed yet romantic account of the several years that Richard King spent working behind the counter at Bristol's Revolver Records - a business run from the heart rather than the head. King brings that lost environment back to life - the sounds,the smells and the people - along with a vivid sense of how it feels to discover taste-shaping records and the artists who created them for the first time. Original Rockers evokes a golden moment in British cultural history,and celebrates the magical abandon that music offers us.
