Description by OLDIES.com:

The first half of the book covers the emergence of a new breed of musician, the "Rock Guitarist" and features many anecdotes of the efforts of now legendary guitarists to not only learn the latest chord but to have to figure out how to build their own guitar because they could not afford the shiny one in the music shop window. There are stories and quotes from such six-string luminaries as Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Brown, Clem Cattini, Eric Clapton, Lonnie Donegan, Vic Flick, Herbie Flowers, Roger Glover, George Harrison, Mark Knopfler, Hank Marvin, Brian May, Gary Moore, Joe Moretti, Pino Palladino, Rick Parfitt, John Paul Jones, Francis Rossi, Gerry Rafferty, Mike Rutherford, Big Jim Sullivan, Andy Summers, Richard Thompson, Bert Weedon, Bruce Welch, and Muff Winwood.

The second half of Play Like Elvis is devoted to the rise and eventual demise of the London studio session scene. Mo tried to present an insider's view of this creative world, and the wonderful absurdity of musicians' humour in general.
