Beschreibung
THis is a must-read memoir of a time when screaming teeny-boppers howled their way hysterically through 60's concerts. Pete Staples takes us behind the scenes of a life lived in the limelight as their hits reached the number 1 spot on the billboard in the UK and the US. In his own words, Pete tells you what it was like: "We had only been together for nine months when we recorded two songs in 45 minutes that became number one in the UK and America at the same time. This was quite an achievement and catapulted four lads from Andover into an unfamiliar world of greed, High Court battles and the inevitable arguments about money, leading to acts of self preservation and [...] in a pop group opens many doors, none more bizarre than the door to our manager's house, where we could have anything and anybody we wanted. It was also a period of great fun, hilarious antics and pride."

Über den Autor
I was born in Andover, a rural Hampshire town, in 1944 and started playing with bands in the 60s'. After groups splitting, and then reforming, I eventually teamed up with fellow 'Andoverians' Reg Presley, Chris Britton and Ronnie Bond and we became 'The Troggs'. We signed with Page One Records, which was then Larry Page and Dick James Music. When, in 1966, 'Wild Thing' was a UK hit and then No 1 in America I had just finished working as an electrician.
We followed this success with 'With a girl like you', 'Love is all Around', 'I can't control Myself' etc and performed extensively throughout Europe; also toured the UK with The Walker Brothers and Gene Pitney. In 1968 we toured America with The Who.
I took up writing to record memories and events in my own words.
Happily married since 1969 with 2 children and 3 grandsons.
