Özet

The Sunday Times top ten bestselling memoir of Tracey Thorn's 30-year pop career with Marine Girls and Everything But The Girl, and her collaborations with Paul Weller, Massive Attack and Todd Terry.

'I was only sixteen when I bought an electric guitar and joined a band. A year later, I formed an all-girl band called the Marine Girls and played gigs, and signed to an indie label, and started releasing records. Then, for eighteen years, between 1982 and 2000, I was one half of the group Everything But the Girl. In that time, we released nine albums and sold nine million records. We went on countless tours, had hit singles and flop singles. I've seen myself described as an indie darling, a middle-of-the-road nobody and a disco diva. I haven't always fitted in, you see, and that's made me face up to the realities of a pop career.'

From post-punk teen-band rivalry in suburban Hertfordshire to international chart-topping success via a shared bedsit in Hull, and three decades of touring and making music, this is the funny, perceptive and candid true story of how Tracey Thorn grew up and tried to be a pop star.

A terrific book which benefits from the audio book format by using the artists music to illustrate and add colour to the events described. I sometimes struggle to get to the end of audio books but not this one. The authors warmth and character shine through. I would highly recommended this to anyone who grew up in the 80s or just enjoys learning more about the realities of the music industry.

I’m too young to know about the early part of Tracey Thorn’s career but found the whole book absolutely wonderful. Such an interesting life and such interesting insights into the nature of life. As I read it, I listened to the relevant albums of the time. Whether you know her music or not, you’ll love this book.
