“I was into instrumental rock, the ‘macho’ music of guitar and drums. Duane Eddy was my guitar hero and Sandy Nelson could hit a mean drum solo. With my birthday money and a well-paid paper round, I would be able to buy my own discs - and my first vinyl would have to be special. My sisters pleaded with me to buy the latest release by Elvis or Cliff but I resisted. No girlie lyrics for me…For me this was the music of teenage youth . . . loud, angry and out of control” (John Bookless, The Guardian, 11/20/2010).
Sandy Nelson (1938- ) “Teen Beat”
