I’ve been ordering some new music books lately, incl. the new Creem anthology (about which, more later), but the one I’m really anxious to read right now is this:

Re-make/Re-model: Art, Pop, Fashion and the Making of Roxy Music, 1953-1972 (Michael Bracewell)

Reviewed recently in:

• The Independent
• The Guardian
• The Telegraph
• The Observer

I’ve had real difficulties getting into the other book I own by Bracewell (England is Mine), so I may be setting myself up for disappointment here. Still, I’m intrigued by the fact that his Roxy book ends, rather than begins, in 1972. (And it surely can’t be worse than any of the other Roxy books I’ve attempted to read.)
