Revised second edition of "Rock and the Pop Narcotic : Testament for the Electronic Church" by Joe Carducci. "This Revised Edition caps over fifteen years squandered in the music business for the author. Asked why this unconscionable waste of his mortal passage, Carducci whispered, 'Because it was there in my way.' The authors's misfortune is his reader's dumb luck as herin lies the truth and nothing but of how Rock music - long buried underground and danced upon by Philistines in rock and roll clothes - was exhumed, nay resurrected to the astonishment of all and the greater glory of its remaining apostles." -- publisher's statement.

Vividly documents prominently the Southern California Punk scene of Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, etc. Contains extensive indexing, prefaces to the first edition and the revised edition, afterword, appendices and bibliography. An essential and stellar book.
