Keep an eye out for this new book, which will include Steve and unseen photos from the era. Link to follow when available.
‘Mods – the New Religion!’ by Paul `Smiler` Anderson is the story of how the Mod culture developed in Britain`s cities from the early 1950`s up to the end of the 60`s and is the most comprehensive study of the culture ever. Approximately 122,000 words in length, it contains interviews with Mods from all over Britain on how they saw the fashions and music change in their local clubs, and is the first book on the subject to ever include how Mod developed in the provinces as well as the major cities. Their stories are compelling, startling and often humorous, but told with an attention to detail second to none. As well as the regular Mods, my five years of research led me to key movers and shakers in the world of music, including legendary American soul singers such as Martha Reeves (Tamla Motown) and Eddie Floyd (Stax). Members of many bands have shared with me previously untold stories of groups such as The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, as well as music icons such as Marc Bolan, Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton. From the fashion side, I have memories of people such as Lynne Franks (Founder of London Fashion Week and the person who set up the British Fashion Awards) and Mike McGras (PR to John Stephen, the man who created Carnaby Street).
The book will also feature some of the rarest ephemera in the world, including ultra rare record labels, club membership cards, posters and handbills.
Photos that have never been published before include images of Rod Stewart, The Small Faces, Steve Ellis, Sonny Boy Williamson, David Bowie, The Eyes, The Creation, The Muleskinners and many others. The book is due out early 2013, published by Omnibus.

Boys finished the album, and buggered off on holiday - all right for some! Steve going back in (with Ash) to mix it. Scheduled for release 2011.
Ian McClagan, Dennis Greaves, Cason Gaydon and Andy Lewis delighted with their song contributions. Plus additional tracks by Lennon & McCartney, Eddie Hinton and several obscure soul numbers - all in the bag. Also a couple of Steve co-writes.
Steve cannot recommend the Hideout enough: "The Hideout is ideal - it is in the middle of nowhere and all you can do is work on your music. Talented engineer and superb studio."
