Guy Peelleart / Nik Cohn's art book Rock Dreams is a fantastic thing. If you've not seen it, it's an art book with snippets of text where various singers, bands etc are mostly shown in imaginings of their songs or personas - The Drifters are under the boardwalk, Rod Stewart is a hooligan, etc. I had it in the late 70's only to find my younger brother had taken it apart and used it as posters. Fortunately it was reissued by Taschen.

Is there a good biography of Gil Scott Heron?

I've not found one when I've looked in the past. There's a real story there to be told in depth.

Heroic effort.

Just starting the Jon Savage book on Joy Division. Decent pedigree, so will see.

I enjoyed it immensely. Summers comes across as a bit of a tool.

How is that Scottish?

[El Aguila]

It’s not.

He certainly does in his own book, which is dreadful. No self-awareness whatsoever.
