Descriere magazin:
\'The loveliest - and certainly the most human - book about pop music I\'ve ever read ... A delightful and humane soap opera, a real page-turner, full of rounded and entirely recognisable characters.\' Jon Ronson, Daily Telegraph THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF BRITPOP - BLUR, OASIS, ELASTICA, SUEDE & TONY BLAIR Beginning in 1994 and closing in the first months of 1998, the UK passed through a cultural moment as distinct and as celebrated as any since the war. Founded on rock music, celebrity, boom-time economics and fleeting political optimism - this was \'Cool Britannia\'. Records sold in their millions, a new celebrity elite emerged and Tony Blair\'s Labour Party found itself, at long last, returned to government. Drawing on interviews from all the major bands - including Oasis, Blur, Elastica and Suede - from music journalists, record executives and those close to government, The Last Party charts the rise and fall of the Britpop movement. John Harris was there; and in this gripping new book he argues that the high point of British music\'s cultural impact also signalled its effective demise - If rock stars were now friends of the government, then how could they continue to matter? Britpop in numbers: There were an astonishing 2.6 million ticket applications for the Oasis gig at Knebworth in 1996. 1 in 24 of the British public wanted to see them play. In the end the band played to 250,000 fans across two nights with a guest list that ran to 7,000. \'Definitely, Maybe\', Oasis\'s debut album, went straight to No 1, selling 100,000 copies in 4 days and outselling the Three Tenors in second place by a factor of 50% On its first day in the shops Oasis\'s second album, \'What\'s The Story, Morning Glory\', was selling at a rate of 2 copies a minute through HMV\'s London stores. By 1997 Creation Records (which had been founded 12 years earlier with a bank loan of 1,000 by an ex-British Rail Clerk Alan McGee) announced a turnover of 36million thanks almost entirely to one band: Oasis.
