SOMETIMES THE CRITICS ARE CORRECT (about the Knights of Fuzz book):
"For collectors this book will be a feast." -- Q Magazine (UK)
"The writing is cutting edge, sharp, and very informative. Most importantly Gassen tells the whole story; he doesn't just talk about the music." -- MusicDish (USA)
"This book is a goldmine of information and a publication like this has been long overdue" -- Hartbeat (Germany)
"If there is someone who can speak with knowledge of the cause of garage revivalism, that man is Timothy Gassen." -- Ruta 66 (Spain)
"As can be expected, Gassen is quite knowledgeable about his subject. This is an essential book." -- Flipside (USA)
"What especially makes 'The Knights Of Fuzz' an essential purchase is how well written, insightful and entertaining the profiles on the bands are." -- Beverly Patterson, Jump, Jive & Harmonize (USA)
