    Decent Analysis of the First Jeff Beck Group
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2022*

To the best of my knowledge, and I've lived through this period of British rock, there is not much known about the inner workings of the first Jeff Beck Group.  Mr Thompson does a very decent job of researching the band's history; the intrigues amongst the personnel and personalities like Mickie Most and Peter Grant; and reasons behind the band's meteoric rise and collapse.Beck was one tough musician to work with- very narcissistic and immature.  A brilliant guitarist in those days, but very undisciplined and unfocussed.  The band was so talented that they made musical history with two great albums and an unforgettable musical legacy despite themselves- to my mind it was almost divine intervention...Thompson chronicles the history of the band well, and the writing is very good. There are many, many typos, however,  and the book suffers from poor editing and publishing to the point that it was a little bush league.  Still a good read.

    Truth is Fantastic Book as good as the Album by Jeff Beck
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2010*

Now that I have your attention: Truth is the definitive book about Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart, including the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Relf, Peter Grant, Mickie Most, etc. This is an amazing book! and I've read hundreds of rock books. Dave Thompson, the author did a masterful job weaving everything into place. There is so much information that you are amazed he could piece it together so well.And while I love Jeff I'm not really a fan of his or Rod. But I loved this book!!! It really is that good. In fact it's so good, I took out my Jeff Beck bootleg from 1968 and listened to it again first time in years and heard what Dave talks about.This book is wonderful because it gives you a real feel of the times. Jimi Hendrix and Beck were hanging out jamming in NY with a bunch of other people. The quotes are rare and lots of new ones. Jeff can be so candid with his thoughts. And did Led Zeppelin steal JBG's sound? It's all in this informative, dense book. The pages are filled from top to bottom and I really enjoyed reading it. I had to force myself to read slower in order to enjoy it more. Most rock books are the same old thing about drugs and orgies etc but this was different. It also talked about the genius, crazy, bossy, egomaniac that is Jeff Beck at least back then.Great book thank you Dave Thompson. I highly recommend this book. Now go out and buy the CD why don't you.

    A Very Annoying Book
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2014*

A very annoying book.  As someone who was already an avid Beck fan when Truth came out, I was very interested to find out what there could be to know about the conceiving and executing of a tantalizing if frustrating album.  Guess what?  There's less than 10 pages in this highly padded book specifically about the album.  What you get is a meandering essay about English bluesy rock filled with speculation, conjecture and misinformation.Particulaly irksome are authorial intrusions presuming to follow the streams of consciousness of Beck and his cohorts.  I get the feeling Thompson has scoured the internet for available Beck quotes and then, taking them at face value in whatever context, assembled them in some kind of time line, connecting them with color from back issues of Rolling Stone and English music weeklies of the time.Believe me, even if you are very passionate about this music and and would like some insight into the process that created it, you are not likely to be satisfied by what Thompson presents.  And by the way, something should be said about the scant and bizarre choice of photographs: a picture of the Yardbirds without Beck?  a picture of Led Zep?  no pictures of any of the managers and producers that Thompson writes so negatively about?  No pictures of the actual group that recorded Truth?  Shoddy thinking, and emblematic of this offering in general.  Save your money, buy some vitamins or something.
