Simon Napier-Bell
About this listen
One-time manager of the Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, Japan, Ultravox, Asia, Wham!, and many others, Simon Napier-Bell recollects the 1960s in all its excess and flamboyance. These are frank and scurrilous tales of sex, drugs, and famous stars, encompassing people such as Keith Moon, John Lennon, the Bee Gees, Robert Stigwood, Brian Epstein, the Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, and just about everyone else who was there.

No Holds Barred
I really enjoyed this book and especially because it was read by the author himself. It gives an insightful look into life in the swinging 60s in the music industry. Not for the feint hearted. Hope you will read your new book Sour Mouth, Sweet Bottom.

A most pleasant listen
I just could not stop this until I was finished.
Superb stories of Pop Music and management and great memories of swinging London - the Brian Epstein stories alone are worth listening.
The chapter on Robert Stigwood was also moving.
Beautifully read by Simon Napier-Bell himself and most definitely recommended.

Very Funny and Incredibly Entertaining
Clever, skilful and adroit - Tales from the revolutionary music business of what is now yesteryear.
I strongly recommend this audiobook because it's highly entertaining and honest.
How refreshing to listen to something REAL that's untainted by political correctness!
Uses the natural language of the day and at times is wonderfully droll - especially the tales of the bloated record executives and how he got around them. This is a warts and all tale of his personal life as well as his business dealings from the mid 1960's to the early to mid 1970's.
I was lucky enough to meet Simon Napier Bell in Bromley in 1981 (he has great charisma and a presence about him) when he showed me his house, which was very beautiful - he told me that he had this band and that they were going to be BiG - That Band turned out to be WHAM! This man has a real presence which comes across strongly in this book. I hope he writes another follow on for the period after 1983 when this book was written because he's so entertaining and it's all so incredibly funny. Recommended because it'll make you laugh like a drain and pinch yourself at times in his story.

Thank God for the rebels
Ive have spent an entire working life in the music industry and SNB is legendary for being a superb creative, but also for bacchanalian levels of behaviour, berserking, chancing his arm, but probably having more fun than just about anyone. Nobody has better stories or better insight to what the industry used to be like. Howling at the Moon is jaw dropping for sure but while thats about excess and money and power this is more about fun, artists, the madness of it all and good ideas. Brilliant.
