Audio Snaps Volume One

100 Minutes from His Book You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me

Audio Snaps is a series of 100 minute audiobooks packed with fun stories from my books about my life in the music business. Volume One features stories from "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me", a book I wrote in 1983 about my time in London in the Sixties when, amongst other things, I was managing the Yardbirds and wrote the lyrics to the song, "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me".

Reading it back now, it seems extraordinarily frank, more so than I might be nowadays, and sometimes rather rude too. When it came out, the music press loathed the book, I think because it trivialised the music industry, whereas the tabloids loved it.

Nowadays, they’ve all come to see it as a classic of its time and the Observer newspaper has it at Number Eleven on its list of “The 50 Greatest Music Books Ever.” In the Independent, Charles Shaar Murray called my books, “The cold print equivalent of spending an evening with a world-class raconteur.”

With Audio Snaps, you get the raconteur without wading through the cold print.
