About this deal

He was ahead of the game in other ways, too; pioneering a more creative way of marketing and promoting records and revolutionising the way catalogue was organised and presented. As a film about her life looks set to hip a whole new audience, friends and lovers help MOJO tell her story. LOU REED KNEW THAT BERLIN ’S CINEMATIC PORTRAIT OF FUCKED-UP LOVERS MIRED IN DRUGS AND VIOLENCE WOULD CHALLENGE FANS OF HIS CAREERMAKING TRANSFORMER. In addition to his transactional practice, Andrew also advises on derivatives regulation and related market initiatives in Europe, including benchmarks reform and IBOR transition, bespoke netting arrangements and ISDA based collateral documentation. With all this in mind, UK record industry veteran Andrew Lauder’s memoir is not necessarily one for those who prefer these things to teem with improbable tales of incredible narcotic excess.

I knew Nick Kent (music journalist who was attacked by Sid Vicious) who was beaten up by a Sex Pistol and I thought ‘he’s a harmless drug-addict music-fan, leave him alone’.Whenever I could afford it, I would go to the Flamingo or the Marquee or the 100 Club and I’d see my favourite groups like The Yardbirds or the Pretty Things.

Of his sons, William (1739–1763) was an officer in the Honourable East India Company's Bengal Army, dying in Calcutta.

Who gave designer Barney Bubbles full reign when it came to designing Hawkwind’s artwork, and then extended similar freedoms to the other artists working with the label’s bands. What I also noticed is that, at the start of his career, pretty much everyone was wonderful and everyone got on, but as time went by, and his projects became less successful, it was always someone else’s fault, but never Andrew’s.On the Liberty sampler Gutbucket (1969) Lauder placed The Bonzo's spoof 'Can Blue Men Sing The Whites' directly after Tony McPhee's 'No More Doggin'. Happy Trails is a book for music historians and crate diggers, particularly lovers of the blues from the '60s through to the '00s. We assist them in setting their prints free for future generations to access and appreciate them and their historical value. Andrew Lauder's tale is a classic one: young and naïve country boy who came to the big city, fell into a random, entry-level but opportune position at the publishing company Southern Music, and went on to make his mark in the industry for half a century.

It was all relentlessly new then, there was something going on and you couldn’t help but be interested in it. I used to speak to John Peel and his producer who were the only people that I could really talk about music to. A career dating back to the mid-1960s, with Jimi Hendrix, Hawkwind and the Stone Roses enjoying various prominence among dozens of other names, ensures a healthy appreciation for excess prevails – but ultimately, this is a book about the music business that mainly strives to discuss music and business.Among the many qualities admired by us musicians who worked with Andrew was his modesty and self-effacement. Andrew Lauder is one of British record business’s most significant and highly influential figures but outside the music industry few people will probably know his name. Soon after the band had achieved commercial success in early ‘77, you left UA to pursue other projects.

Brackstone said: “This is a story for the true believers, those who are interested in the stories behind the stories, how the underground music scene became such a powerful counter-cultural force in the late ’60s and ’70s. It was the title of the last song he’d recorded with Hawkwind as well as slang for heavy amphetamine use.

To be honest, as a man in his sixties, I wasn't terribly interested in the later stuff, and younger readers (if there are any) may not find the early stories to their taste, but that is a testament to Andrew's lonegevity. We had Brinsley Schwarz but it was very difficult to get them gigs as we were competing against the prog rock people.
