The Go-Go's
Self - Co-Founder, Stiff Records
As the first all-female band to play their instruments, write their songs and have a No. 1 album, The Go-Go’s made history. Underpinned by candid testimonies, this film chronicles the meteoric rise to fame of a band born in the LA punk scene who became a pop phenomenon.
If It Ain't Stiff: The Stiff Records Story
Himself
Adrian Edmondson narrates a documentary chronicling the story of Stiff Records, a tiny independent that took music out of the boardroom and gave it back to the fans. Stiff's successes included Nick Lowe, the Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Madness, Tracey Ullman and the Pogues. Contributors include Captain Sensible, Jonathan Ross, Suggs, Shane MacGowan and label founders Jake Riviera and Dave Robinson.
Rock Milestones: Bob Marley: Legend
Self
Since its 1984 release, Legend has become the biggest selling reggae album of all time. This film comprehensively reviews the music, its creation and the people behind it. The first rate critics include Dave Robinson; former head of Island Records and the man who created the Legend compilation, and Lloyd Bradley; world famous music writer (author of Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King), amongst many others. Vintage Marley footage, including one of his last performances with the Wailers in 1981 completes truly the final analysis you will ever need of the album that cemented the status of a Legend.
