Roger Shepherd: In Love With These Times – My Life With Flying Nun Records

In Love With These Times: My Life With Flying Nun Records Roger Shepherd HarperCollins The “inside story” of Flying Nun, the Little Record Label That Could (and did…and sorta still is…) is this year’s must-read New Zealand music book.

Robert Scott was already on into The Bats, […]
