'A scurrilous memoir of the Sixties' music business - any aspiring star should read it.' Daily Mirror You probably know Simon Napier-Bell as the manager of the Yardbirds. Or you may know him as the man who managed Marc Bolan, or Japan. You should definitely know him as the man who managed Wham! And if none of these rings a bell, maybe you'll remember him as the man who co-wrote 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' for Dusty Springfield.You Don't Have To Say You Love Me is one of the funniest books you will read and equally provoking. From his revelation that the entire music industry was motivated by sex, to an embarrassing come-on from a suicidal Brian Epstein, it's all shocking stuff. But when you're on the run from the German police with Marc Bolan, brothel-hopping with Keith Moon and generally living the life of Riley at the music industry's expense, it would be a shame not to share those amazing experiences with the rest of the world, wouldn't it?Of all the great pop-music books written, it is worth savouring You Don't Have To Say You Love Me for its brilliant sideways insight into one of the most exciting cultural periods Britain has ever seen.… (mehr)

Napier-Bell began his career in pop when he co-wrote the lyrics to the eponymous Dusty Springfield chart topper one night "between dinner and the club". Realising how much money there was to be made in this insane industry, the former adman decided to wade on in, becoming the manager of groups like The Yardbirds and the tragically awful John's Children. Reading the stories here, it's obvious that SNB is a bullshit-raconteur par excellence, which goes a long was to explaining his success.

Lightweight, compared to "Black Vinyl, White Powder", which I really enjoyed. An account of Sixties rock and roll lifestyles, I couldn't help but feel the whole era deserved a deeper study from a man who was there. It just could not have been as easy to become a record producer, a major record producer, as it is made out in this book. He trivialised his job so much it became somewhat unbelievable and irritating. Easy to read though, and I ploughed through this in a couple of days. ( )
