He was involved in the launch and editing of \u003cem\u003eSmash Hits, Q, Mojo\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Word\u003c\/em\u003e. He was one of the presenters of BBC TV‘s \u003cem\u003eThe Old Grey Whistle Test\u003c\/em\u003e, and one of the anchors of the BBC’s coverage of Live Aid in July 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe has written six books about music in the last five years: \u003cem\u003e1971 – Never a Dull Moment: Rock’s Golden Year Uncommon People: The Rise and Fall of the Rock Star, Nothing is Real: The Beatles Were Underrated And Other Sweeping Statements About Pop, A Fabulous Creation: How the LP Saved Our Lives, Rock \u0026amp; Roll A Level: The only quiz book you need \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Overpaid, Oversexed and Over There: How a Few Skinny Brits with Bad Teeth Rocked America.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid writes a weekly column on podcasts for \u003cem\u003eRadio Times\u003c\/em\u003e and throughout the past two years, with Mark Ellen, David has co-hosted well over a hundred \u003cem\u003eWord In Your Attic \u003c\/em\u003einterviews on YouTube, with appearances from a galaxy of musicians, journalists, broadcasters and authors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere David explains his thoughts when putting this compilation together:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe seventies were a grubby but glorious time for records. Many of those records never sullied a chart. Nor are they served up by the algorithms which rule retro radio today. These two LPs correct that oversight. \u003cstrong\u003eYoung Americans\u003c\/strong\u003e revisits classic rock icons in the fierce morning of their genius. \u003cstrong\u003eBeer Drinkers and Hell Raisers\u003c\/strong\u003e is unrepentant driving music from the days before the mandatory seat belt. \u003cstrong\u003eBlue Boar Blues\u003c\/strong\u003e is dedicated to the legions of British groups who lived according to the white line on the M1. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Monstrous Regiment\u003c\/strong\u003e is a reminder of the female artists of the time, some of whom are just being recognised today. As my comprehensive notes modestly assert, more occurred between 1971 and 1979 than in any period of music before or since. This is not an opinion. This is a fact. This is a double album to prove it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Hepworth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57432163877195,"sku":"DEMREC824","price":2.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/DEMREC824X-David-Hepworth-3Dprint.jpg?v=1779703651","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/deep-70s-clear-vinyl-2lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
