Synopsis
Although rock 'n roll is America's all-time leading cultural export, half of the classic rock sound - hard-hitting, skintight, audacious, and vibrant - was born across the pond. Musician, journalist, and writer Dave Hunter's The British Amp Invasion: How Marshall, Hiwatt, Vox, and More Changed the Sound of Music charts the forty-plus year confluence of British industrial ingenuity and popular culture that grew a minor "also-ran" offshore industry into a true world leader. Art inspired engineering, engineering influenced art, and, as both evolved at breakneck speed, the finest amplifiers in the world were devised and refined on the British Isles. The symbiotic relationship born of this partnership produced the most powerful music ever known to mankind - a sound that still resonates today in the most literal sense possible. Hunter's original account provides a ground-level perspective of the simultaneous development of an adolescent audio industry and a nascent musical style, documenting their twin struggle to find their footing and stride forward. Rich with behind-the-scenes accounts and high-resolution images of the era's greatest (and highly collectible) amplifiers, many of which have never been told or seen before, this book is a welcome addition to the libraries of audio aficionados, guitarists, bassists, and other musicians, classic rock fans, collectors of vintage gear, and anyone with an eye for fine photography and an ear for compelling histories., (Book). The seminal British amps of the late '50s onward were always distinct from their American counterparts, which were generally designed for jazz, country, and dance-hall music. The British amps were designed to hit the ground running for rock 'n' roll. And as that music gradually dropped its "roll" through the course of the '60s, these were ......, (Book).

The British amps were designed to hit the ground running for rock n roll. And as that music gradually dropped its roll through the course of the 60s, these were the first amps that truly rocked too. Not only did British-made amps by Vox, Marshall, Hiwatt, Orange, and others power the ground-breaking music of the major British guitar heroes all three Beatle guitarists, plus Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Peter Green, and Yankee expatriate Jimi Hendrix, among countless others they quickly became the premier choice for American arena stars. In just a short decade, as musical styles swung from British Beat to British Invasion to British Blues to Heavy Metal, British amplifiers ruled the day. You simply didn t play anything else if you wanted that sound. Through behind-the-scenes histories and compelling personal anecdotes, with liberal use of period imagery, The British Amp Invasion: How Marshall, Hiwatt, Vox, and More Changed the Sound of Music chronicles what should have been a minor also-ran offshore industry that turned quickly into a true world leader. This book charts the confluence of British industrial ingenuity and pop-culture evolving at breakneck speed and the symbiotic relationship that was born of this partnership. Art inspired industry as industry influenced art, and together these elements produced the most powerful music ever known to mankind a sound that still resonates today, in the most literal sense possible.

I was very happy, finally finding, this Large Print version for my mother, even though I thought $9.99 shipping was a bit excessive. My happiness continued until I opened the shipping container and found a receipt itemizign book and shipping which totaled $15.00 less than I paid. Your suggestion for me to ignore the receipt was not the solution I was looking for when I contacted you. Perhaps a better solution would have been to apologize and insure you would be more cautious for future sales.
