Paul Colby... shares enough behind-the-scenes anecdotes to satisfy
nostalgic and aficionado alike.
*MOJO*
Like a fly on the Bitter End's famous red-brick wall, Paul Colby
has seen it all through six decades in the entertainment business.
Pull up a stool and listen as he spins tale after revealing tale of
the many musicians and comics who launched their careers at his
landmark Greenwich Village nightspot.
*Ken Schlager, Editorial Director at Billboard.com*
You'll meet them all in the pages of The Bitter End: Paxton,
Gibson-Cap, McGuinn, the Mitchell Trio, and countless others who
made moving and innovative music.
*Discoveries*
Complete with period illustrations, the club's story and that of
the Village from its prime up to the present is told from the
chatty and thoroughly engrossing perspective on manager (and,
later, proprietor) Paul Colby, who formed genuine friendships with
many of the artists, famous and obscure.
*Record Collector, (Uk)*
The dust cover of this book bears the legend, " Hanging Out At
America's Nightclub" and this book boils down to Colby's
recollection of precisely that, allied to third party
recollections, general comments and music business insights.
