David Hepworth has been writing, broadcasting and speaking about music since the 70s. He was involved in the launch and editing of Smash Hits, Q, Mojo and The Word. He was one of the presenters of BBC TVs The Old Grey Whistle Test, and one of the anchors of the BBCs coverage of Live Aid in July 1985.David has written seven books about music since 2016 1971 Never a Dull Moment Rock039s Golden Year Uncommon People The Rise and Fall of the Rock Star Nothing is Real The Beatles Were Underrated And Other Sweeping Statements About Pop A Fabulous Creation How the LP Saved Our Lives Rock amp Roll A Level The only quiz book you need Overpaid, Oversexed and Over There How a Few Skinny Brits with Bad Teeth Rocked America and Abbey Road The Inside Story of the Worlds Most Famous Recording Studio.David writes a weekly column on podcasts for Radio Times, and throughout the past four years he has cohosted, with Mark Ellen, hundreds of Word In Your Ear Attic interviews on YouTube, with appearances from a galaxy of musicians and authors. Following the success of his 4CD set UNDERRATED CUTS FROM A MISUNDERSTOOD DECADE, Edsel is proud to announce a new release. Here David explains his thoughts when putting this 73track compilation together, which he has annotated in the booklet, track by track The 70s wasnt simply the most actionpacked decade in the history of recorded music. It was also the final decade before we succumbed to the curse of genres. Because the four CDs inside have beenprogrammed thematically for your listening pleasure, we have given them names which they didnt have at the time. Remake Remodel features cult heroes making twisted sense of tunes from more innocent times. Skinny Tie Music showcases the slinky pop purveyed by the acts who rolled back the cuffs of their jackets. Americana spotlights the sons and daughters of the republic singing of their homeland. Basing Street Blues is named for the home of Island Records, most charismatic of the UKs independent record labels. Theres plenty of things about the 70s we wouldnt have back inflation, smokefilled rooms, fizzy keg for a start but the music has never been bettered.
