Excellent historical series tracking the roots and branches of the personnel of rock bands based on publications in Sounds magazine many moons ago.

Each is layout masterpiece - in some cases all diverge in some all converge - in some well - they never end. Narrated by @k(http://TheUndertones.net/@ix(u33),@app_txt_u33))
