Description
A true first printing of Bobby Gillespie’s acclaimed memoir, published by White Rabbit (Orion Publishing Group) in 2021.
Best known as the frontman of Primal Scream and former drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain, Gillespie charts his journey from working-class Springburn in 1960s Glasgow through punk, post-punk and the acid house revolution that reshaped British music forever.
Tenement Kid closes with the cultural explosion of Screamadelica — the album widely credited with redefining the sound of the 1990s. More than a rock memoir, this is a story of class, rebellion, art, and the transformative power of music.
Praised by Mark Lanegan, Warren Ellis, Courtney Love and Irvine Welsh, it stands as one of the most important British music memoirs of recent years.
