Joe Thompson - Sleevenotes
£9.99 Sold Out
"At some point while reading Sleevenotes it becomes clear that it was much more than just a wise-cracking, experimentally punctuated, string of anecdotes about squat gigs in Belgium with improbably named noise rock bands and blocked studio toilets in Camberwell. This book should in fact be regarded as core curriculum reading for those just embarking on the path of rock music today, and is essential nourishment for those who have existential concerns about the point or the viability of doing such a thing in 2019. And once you acclimatise to Joe Thompson’s easy-going, autodidact style you will, I guarantee it, find yourself punching the air (when you aren’t nodding furiously in agreement)." - John Doran, The Quietus
This is Joe's book covering the HC story from 2003 up to now. It's part of the Sleevenotes series, which includes books by Mark Lanegan, David Gedge and Bob Stanley.
