Full Description

An epic compendium of stories and trivia from the 80s music scene

 

'Justin Lewis tells pop's never-ending story brilliantly' David Quantick

The eighties was one of the most innovative periods in the history of pop music - and even forty years on remains one of the best-loved, championed by radio, television, advertisements, theatre and films, with many of the acts still performing and recording.

Into the Groove is a tale of pop and circumstance. It charts the global story of pop music month by month from January 1980 to December 1989, highlighting a variety of events and tracing the career paths of many noteworthy pop acts around the world, including Annie Lennox, A-ha, Roxette, Prince, Madonna, Kraftwerk, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Sugarcubes - and many more. It celebrates genres of all kinds - the enduring and the faddish, the mainstream and the underground, from post-punk to acid house, from heavy rock to electronic, from hip hop to teen pop - showcasing many of the decade's key recordings, figures and events, while also revealing plenty of intriguing lesser-known stories to create a wry and diverse musical tapestry.

The perfect gift for any music lover or eighties aficionado, Into the Groove is an endlessly entertaining homage to the 1980s music scene.

'A treasure chest of pop riches ... I loved this book!' Samira Ahmed

'Forensic, forthright and downright unputdownable' Ian Wade
