Save for those who were there, not many people remember today that the legendary Decca Studios, where lots of famous records were made between 1937 and 1980, including THE ROLLING STONES’ debut EP – and where THE BEATLES didn’t pass the audition – and the Klooks Kleek rhythm-and-blues club, where the likes of Eric Clapton and ZEPPELIN played from 1961 to 1970, co-existed in a door-to-door proximity. So there’s many a story to tell, and some of them are made it into a book simply titled “Decca Studios And Klooks Kleek.” Penned by Dick Weindling and Marianne Colloms, the tome documents the titular places’ unique musical heritage and contains dozens photos some of which have never been published.
Out now, it’s a great addition to any rock collection. Read the review.
