Roots Radicals and Rockers by Billy Bragg,SIGNED COPY HARDBACK 2017
Roots, Radicals and Rockers by Billy Bragg. Hardback first edition published by Faber in 2017. Complete with unclipped dust jacket. Signed with a dedication \""To Dora...\"" by the author. We have no direct provenance for the signature but it appears very similar to other examples.
Emerging from the jazz clubs of the early '50s, skiffle - a uniquely British take on American folk and blues - caused a sensation among a generation of kids who had grown up during the dreary post-war years. These were Britain's first teenagers, looking for a music of their own in a culture dominated by crooners and mediated by a stuffy BBC. Sales of guitars rocketed from 5,000 to 250,000 a year, and - as with the punk rock that would flourish two decades later - all you needed to know were three chords to form your own group, with your mates accompanying on tea-chest bass and washboard.
Against a backdrop of Cold War politics, rock and roll riots and a newly assertive working-class youth, Billy .
