JIM MARSHALL: THE FATHER OF LOUD - THE STORY OF THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS GUITAR AMPLIFIERS by Rich Maloof: ON SALE!! SAVE $13.95!! In the early 1960s a handful of brash British kids (including Pete Townshend) marched into a music store and asked the gentleman behind the desk to build them an amplifier with leg-shaking power and jaw-dropping tone. So he did. This first-ever biography tells the story of Jim Marshall--founder of Marshall Amplification and creator of the guitar amplifiers that have defined the sound of rock--from his childhood when he was diagnosed with a rare bone disease to his stage success as a crooner and big-band drummer, through his development of the "Marshall Stack" and rise to the forefront of the music instrument industry. Includes highlights in Marshall history, images of amp anatomy, details about famous players' preferred models, more. Full-color and b&w photos throughout. Hardcover. 256 pp.
