About this Item

Hardback book (very good) in dust jacket (good). The pages are unmarked, lightly tanned around the edges but in very good condition and tightly bound. No bumping on the boards which are therefore still square at all corners. A 1.5 cm tear at the top of the rear panel of the jacket has been neatly repaired and there is a little shelf rubbing on the edges of the jacket which is not price clipped. Mailed the same or next working day in a cardboard book box.

About this title

Synopsis

Jeff Turner was raised in Custom House in the East End of London, with seven siblings to share a three-bedroom council house. When the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" hit, his brother Mickey picked up a guitar and Jeff picked up a microphone, and together they stormed the music scene as the Cockney Rejects. The Rejects stood for being young, working class, and not taking anything from anyone, resulting in agression and violence being the main staple at their shows. However, the madness couldn't last forever, and as chaos at the gigs spiralled out of control, so did the band. Jeff was left dazed and penniless, and here tells his story.
