商品描述

A wide-ranging collection of interviews, anecdotes, essays, and ephemera concerning one of the most enigmatic bands to emerge from the 1960s hippy scene.

"Encyclopaedic in scope, passionate in tone, this book is a minotaur's labyrinth of information about one of the most remarkable groups in 20th century music. Be glad, for everything you need to know is here." (Rob Young, The Wire)

First published in 2003 and long out of print, Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending: An Incredible String Band Compendium is the definitive book about the ISB. Containing a wealth of interviews, essays, and ephemera from the band's brief but tangled history, this new revised and expanded edition includes two new pieces by ISB member Rose Simpson on Witchseason Productions' idiosyncratic offices and on recording with the ISB in the Sound Techniques studio, as well as interviews with Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, folk musician Alasdair Roberts, and Ossian Brown of Coil and Cyclobe.

Contributors include Rowan Williamson (former Archbishop of Canterbury), ISB manager and producer Joe Boyd, Andy Roberts, Billy Connolly, and Raymond Greenoaken.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本關於20世紀音樂中最引人入勝的團體之一的綜合性書籍，包含了許多訪談、軼事、文章和雜記，涵蓋了1960年代嬉皮士場景中最神秘的樂團之一。

這本書的範圍廣泛，充滿激情，是關於20世紀音樂中最卓越的團體之一的迷宮般的信息。你會很高興，因為這裡有你需要知道的一切。（羅伯·楊，《The Wire》）

《Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending: An Incredible String Band Compendium》首次出版於2003年，已經很久沒有再版了，這是關於ISB的權威書籍。這本書包含了大量關於這個樂團短暫但錯綜複雜的歷史的訪談、文章和雜記。這個新的修訂和擴充版還包括ISB成員羅斯·辛普森（Rose Simpson）撰寫的兩篇新文章，分別關於Witchseason Productions獨特的辦公室和在Sound Techniques錄音室與ISB合作錄音，以及與Pet Shop Boys的尼爾·坦南特（Neil Tennant）、民謠音樂家阿拉斯代爾·羅伯茨（Alasdair Roberts）和Coil和Cyclobe的奧西安·布朗（Ossian Brown）的訪談。

貢獻者包括羅溫·威廉森（前坎特伯雷大主教）、ISB經理和製作人喬·博伊德（Joe Boyd）、安迪·羅伯茨（Andy Roberts）、比利·康納利（Billy Connolly）和雷蒙德·格林奧肯（Raymond Greenoaken）。
