 Tony Visconti has worked with the most dynamic and influential names in pop - from T.Rex and Iggy Pop to David Bowie and U2. Now, Visconti has written his autobiography, published this week (5 February) and Q4music has five copies to give away.
Born in New York in 1944, by the 1950s he was inspired from seeing Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry on stage at New York's Paramount theatre and began working as a musician. He also became an accomplished photographer and his autobiography is complemented by unseen photographs from his personal archive.
Having abandoned his native New York for Swinging London in 1967 - the Summer of Love - he set about learning the arcane studio secrets that he felt were known only to the British. Within a few years Visconti was present at the birth of glam rock, working with T.Rex and the then-unknown David Bowie; he was also creating studio secrets of his own.
TONY VISCONTI: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY provides a unique insight into life in London during the late 1960s and '70s and a glimpse at music history that few have witnessed so intimately.
