New Book: Strat! The Charismatic Life And Times Of Tony Stratton Smith.

  • Scheduled for release in June, "Strat! The Charismatic Life And Times Of Tony Stratton Smith" is a new biography on the man behind the Charisma Records label. Peter Gabriel has written a foreward.


    I'm interested to know more about Strat. The Genesis boys always talk so fondly of him. Would Genesis have even evolved into the band we know and love without him?

    he played a very important part and gave them the time they needed. I don’t think something like this would happen today.. so, yes

    ....not sure if I'm getting confused here but don't you mean "so, no"?

    ah, yes - you right! sorry for the confusion! Of course Genesis would not be the band we know and love today without him!
