Steve Marriott, lead singer of the Small Faces and Humble Pie, had a voice coveted by Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and David Bowie, amongst many others. All or Nothing, Simon Spence's oral history biography, is drawn from over 125 interviews with those who knew Marriott intimately: his wives, children, bandmates and closest friends, managers, record producers, record label bosses and his fellow musicians. Included are scores of people who have never told their story before. From his child star beginnings to his battles with drug addiction and untimely death in a housefire, All or Nothing is a visceral and unflinching account of Steve Marriott's extraordinary and often troubling life. 'There have been several books written about him over the years but not one has got anywhere near the real truth, until this one' Blues in Britain 'A completely and wholly fascinating story... A superb book, featuring excellent glossy photographs... a must buy' HiFi World 'Unflinchingly chronicling the sadness of Marriott's twilight without ever losing sight of the joyous music that made him so special in the first place' Record Collector
Simon Spence collaborated with Rolling Stones manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham on the classic memoirs Stoned and 2Stoned and is the author of seven admired non-fiction books on subjects such as Immediate Records, Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses and Bay City Rollers. As a music journalist he has written for NME, Dazed & Confused, The Face, i-D, The Independent, Japan Times, International New York Times, Record Collector, Q and Mojo. His latest book is All Or Nothing: The Authorised Story of Steve Marriott.
