Customer Reviews

If you dont live in London, dont buy this book!!!!
This is a great book!!! IF you live in London!!! Most of the interviews are from people in the music business in London. The way we do things here and the way they do things there, are a lot different. You need to buy a slang book to understand the terms that they use. VERY disappointed!!!
