Bob Stanley: Let’s Do It: The Birth of Pop

Part of Durham Book Festival.
 
An evening with Saint Etienne founder, musician, writer, journalist and film producer Bob Stanley.
 
The prequel to the universally acclaimed Yeah Yeah Yeah, Let’s Do It is the only book that brings together all genres to tell the definitive story of the birth of pop.
 
From the invention of the 78rpm record at the end of the19th Century, to the beginnings of rock and the modern pop age, Stanley paints an aural portrait of pop music’s formative years.
