Recensione:
"Meticulous detail."
— Telegraph
"There are amazing stories."
— Andrew Perry, Mojo
"Well written and thoroughly researched, it is also perspicacious and ambitious in its placing of an hour of guitar music in the context of individual lives, post-war Britain, the heady power of American popular culture over British teenagers, and -- that redoubtable cliché of the rock 'n' roll life -- the trappings of fame... This seems to be the kind of celebratory chronicling that [lead singer Joe Strummer himself], who died at the age of fifty in 2002, might have welcomed."
— PJ Carnehan, Times Literary Supplement
"Gray's book is a triumph in that his obsessive detail enhances and illuminates a classic record."
— Alasdair Mabbott, The Herald
