Andrew Loog Oldham

The new, music-themed issue of An Antidote To Indifference, the occasional but essential fanzine from Caught By The River (a proper fanzine printed on paper with wonky headings) features a brilliant two-page extract from the third volume of Andrew Loog Oldham's memoirs. His first two books, Stoned and 2Stoned, are required reading for anyone wanting to try and understand what went on in the 60s music business, and this new one, titled Stone Free and out soon on Escargot apparently, would appear to be just as indispensable. The Antidote extract deals with the birth of the legendary Immediate label. As soon as I have more details I will pass them on.
