This is a history of Los Angeles as rock 'n' roll Babylon - a damned paradise of sun and surf, drugs and disease. The author focuses his attention on the uneasy symbiotic relationship between the movie business and music, from the early record companies and studios in the 1940s and 1930s and goes on to examine the multiplicity of styles to have evolved from the West Coast.
