In an improvised recording studio at Isleworth Polytechnic,
west London, a drum erratically beats, a guitar barks a
random chord, the technicians fiddle with their
equipment... Outside, the (fictional) band members lark
about with their friends, waiting for the off. It's the
29th July 1965, and Freddie Mercury is preparing for his
first recording session in his long and illustrious
career...
This book contains images of a point in popular music history that, had this session actually happened, it could have changed the course of popular music's trajectory.
It could have happened. It should have happened. But it didn't happen.
Gatcha gatcha whaah hoo...

Really? In the 53 years since this alleged event happened, NO ONE has ever mentioned any of this. Smells and looks like a lump of steaming shite.

In essence it's a book about a fictitious band (Bulsariana) on the day of their first recording session at an improvised studio at Isleworth Polytechnic, on the 29th July 1965. The book contains images of the band and followers enjoying the day, before, during and after the recording sessions. The book also contains lyrics to the songs, record cover designs and posters and gig tickets to the band's performances during 1965.
The band's brand of music is proto-punk/garage (consistent with early MC5, Blue Cheer, The Monks etc).
The event was a fantasy, the images are not.

Hi Cruella,
As I have been at pains to point out, the recording didn't happen, but the event did (ie the imagery of Freddie in the book is real).

i may be a fool Togg, but as the old advertising adage attests... "They Laughed When I Sat Down At The Piano - But When I Started to Play!"...
Adrian began his association with the world of Rock/Pop when he found himself sharing a secondary school with Donovan Leitch. Leitch, like John Fahey, developed the psychedelic folk genre to its ultimate conclusion of Leitch, reputedly, influencing The Beatles' output during their India sojourn together. Adrian then became familiar with members of The Yardbirds, principally Eric Clapton. During this time, having met Giorgio Gomelsky, the great rock impresario (and the then Yardbird's manager), Giorgio introduced Adrian to some of the greatest American Folk/Blues performers in the world, such as Howlin' Wolf, Sleepy John Estes, Lightnin' Hopkins, Hammy Nixon, Willie Dixon, Sugar Pie DeSanto and Sonny Boy Williamson II.
Giorgio Gomelsky was one of the unsung heroes of the 1960s British rock scene, as the operator of the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond-upon-Thames; he was effectively the Rolling Stones’ first manager, showed the young Beatles around London, produced the Yardbirds and put the Animals on stage.
In 1964 Adrian met Fred Bulsara (Freddie Mercury) and they became firm friends and college students together. The music scene of that time was teeming with talent, and Adrian and Freddie were able to rub shoulders with bands too numerous to list here. At about that time Adrian formed a nascent Blues duo (guitar and blues harp) with a college friend and enjoyed the thrill of playing some of the best Blues standards of the time, at parties and campus get-togethers.
The last time that Adrian saw Freddie in person was a day when Adrian was browsing the stalls in Kensington Market, and a very flamboyant Freddie rushed at him, ending with an affectionate hug.
This is why this book is authentic, have no doubt.

Brilliant.... that's a blast from the past.... ha
Bulsarlalalalalaala or whatever
What the hell are you on? why on earth would ANYONE bother to read let alone buy an book about an event that never happened, had bugger all to do with anything other than two people that once met....One of whom npbody has ever heard of there are plenty of actually interesting books to read...
I once bumped into Roger Taylor, shall I write a book about the fictional event thereafter where we went on to look at second hand cars for my Uncle and subsequently fell out over the fact he couldnt remember the words to 'oh come all ye faithful'
Arlene, I see they let you out for good behaviour..... nice

Thank you taking the trouble to review my book.

Sorry your just trying to cash in on someone elses fame, £27...... for a book about nothing that happened.... Go write a book that actually is your own work not trying to use a family name and brief encounter to cash in on someone else. Like all these Mercury books by people that either never met him or only really saw him from a distance, not really very professional
