'Remembering the Chords' book.

This book is the definitive tribute to the Chords; the new wave band that emerged in the early 80's - influenced by punk, mod, 60s power rock, their distinctive sound and hard hitting, gritty lyrics reflected the turbulent 80's. This is a collection of memories from UK & International fans, bands, photographers, writers,  music producers and the members of the band themselves. Featuring unseen photos. (inc 10 colour pages) rare interviews,  conversations with their peers, bands who influenced them and bands who were influenced by them. Chords fans will love this 'ram packed' hardback book.

Out of print and hard to find.

Only a small amount of books available.

"40 years on, this book is an authorised tribute to The Chords, a band that shaped many people's lives; not just in 1980 when their album 'So Far Away' was released but continually ever since. The reach they had was and still is incredible and extends as far afield as Brazil, Italy, Australia, U.S.A. and Japan. they continue to influence new bands in the UK and internationally. The book is not a biography of the band, although they have graciously given their memories too (thanks guys!), it is a celebration of their talent as told by UK fans, International fans, as well as those who supported The Chords during this time. It has contributions from music presenters, Polydor A&R exec's, sound producers, bands, photographers, actors (Quadrophenia) and is packed with unseen photos, fan club memorabilia, gig list and discography."
