This is a biography of an entrepreneur at the early beginnings of the British Invasion of the 1960s. He was the first manager of the Rollin' Stones (later Rolling Stones) and the quintessential rock group The Yardbirds with both Beck and Clapton. But he always got pushed out of the way by better connected managers and record labels.

In the seventies he bought a townhouse in New York and turned it into a performance space. The basement and first floor were set up as performance and recording areas, the second floor was the business and the top floor was his home. For years old and new friends came and went as they were guided by Giorgio on their way to stardom or obscurity.

The book is a love letter to Giorgio of a friend of over thirty-five years with reminisces of people who dealt with Giorgio over the years.

Quite an interesting read of an influential music impresario. Sure if you have an affinity with the bands he represented it will be useful.
