The perfect gift for any music lover . . .
'Hepworth has more insider knowledge and knows more rock anecdotes than any man alive' The Herald
'Unmissable for music enthusiasts' Woman & Home
The Rock and Roll A Level is here to rescue the pop quiz from the grip of bores who know the chart position of everything and the value of nothing.
It's for the people who like pop music because it tells them so much about real life, the people who learned about America from the songs of Chuck Berry, about Europe from the albums of David Bowie and about all manner of things from the songs of Steely Dan.
It's the first quiz book where the answers are as interesting as the questions.
It's the first quiz book where general knowledge matters as much as an adolescence spent reading the NME or Smash Hits.
It's a proper education.
David Hepworth lives in London and has been writing, broadcasting and speaking about music and media since the seventies. He was involved in the launch and editing of magazines such as Smash Hits, Q, Mojo and The Word, among many others. He has won the Editor of the Year and Writer of the Year awards from the Professional Publishers Association and the Mark Boxer award from the British Society of Magazine Editors.
He says Chuck Berry's 'You Never Can Tell' is the best record ever made. 'This is not an opinion,' he says. 'It's a matter of fact.'
