Completing it has involved the purchase of several CDs, including an expensive box set, and two other books, one a selfpublished memoir by the obscure Southend musician John Bobin (an even worse title than Mike’s otherwise excellent book; it’s called Bark Staving Ronkers) the other being Sylvia Patterson’s I’m Not With The Band, which looks great but its currently being usurped by Don Winslow’s ferocious The Cartel.
