Musicians choose favourite tracks from their back catalogue and
provide telling insights into their creation, meaning or mood.
In this book, St Etienne's Bob Stanley writes about the influences
and impulses behind his own songwriting, from jobs involving egg-boxes
and sock receipts to Top Of The Pops, garden cities and Swedish
beers.
Includes photographs by Bob.
