Marc Bolan, Tyrannosaurus Rex & T. Rex: Every Album, Every Song review:

‘Filled to the brim with facts, (this book) follows the tried-and-tested formula of the On Track series, where Gallagher doesn’t shy away from critical opinions / judgements, funny remarks, musical analysis, and probing lyrical interpretations. His exceptional creative writing and many brilliantly contrived metaphors bring further colourful depth and even vibrant Bolan-ish flamboyancy to his great read’.

Kiss in the 1970s reviews:

‘Gallagher has already written a likeable On Track book on Marc Bolan, but here his eye for detail and comedic turn of phrase comes up trumps. Lines such as, “When discussing this song, Simmons somehow thought quoting Ted Nugent would be a good idea” or his description of the band’s new Dynasty stage costumes (Criss’ outfit “was so hideously embarrassing he could probably have won a case of constructive dismissal”) are both illuminating and entertaining’.

Record Mirror

‘This excellent read is highly recommended for Kiss fans young and old’.
