The history of rock is the history of mad absurdity, and in this book you will find many, many examples of some of the best, worst and most obscure music to emerge from the explosive breeding ground of the 1960s, '70s and '80s . . .

Lovers Buggers & Thieves offers fresh perspectives on the likes of Led Zeppelin (how do they compare with Iron Butterfly?), The Beatles (a comprehensive guide to Fab Four bootlegs and "outfakes"), the musical legacy of Charles Manson, Skip Spence (from Jefferson Airplane to Moby Grape), The Monks, The Sonics, Edgar Broughton, The Stooges, Bonzo Dog Band, interviews with garage punk and psych unknowns, Screaming Lord Sutch, and other musicians and music dragged back from the edge . . .
