THE STORY OF THE NOISE-POP PIONEERS WHO LAUNCHED MODERN ROCK
Finished Th 7/24/14
Greg Norton and Grant Hart cooperated with the author, but Bob Mould did not.
Just about everything you would want to know about the band, and it's clear that Greg Norton was shafted when the band fell apart in the late 80's, but this is not detailed. Most of the two-hundred thousand plus advance from Warner Bros. went into Massive Leasing which was a company formed by Mould/Hart to buy recording equipment and lease to other bands. Norton was not included, but they cleaned up. The details of this arrangement is not really covered, but interested me.

Link to Wikipedia entry OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE. I loved this book, and this author collaborated (2011) with Bob Mould on his biography.
