Whether he's unpicking the importance of 'Born to Run' to Bruce Springsteen's career, explaining how Donna Summer invented the 12" single, or describing the impact of Bob Marley's appearance at the Lyceum in July 1975, Jones' writing is witty, precise, and engaging . Readers will want to revisit many of the records that Jones uses to build his convincing case for 1975 being the apotheosis of adult pop. The book successfully challenges the accepted history of what came before punk's 'day zero' and shines a light on some lost gems.
