Signed, Sealed, and Delivered: True Life Stories of Women in Pop

Signed, Sealed and Delivered- True Life Stories of Women in Pop
by Sheryl Garratt

I wrote this set of essays on women in pop with Sue Steward in 1984, when I was still at university, and very earnest and naive. We covered everything from the women who put vinyl into sleeves at EMI’s factory to screaming girl fans, managers to label owners. 

There are interviews with a wide range of musicians, singers, bands and artists,. Although some of it is hopelessly dated now (the idea of anyone putting vinyl into sleeves ready for distribution, for instance!), quite a bit of it still stands up. We spoke to key players in both early punk and hip hop, from Sylvia Robinson – the force behind Sugarhill Records – to The Slits and Poly Styrene.

    It’s not dated Sheryl! It’s an historic document, of tremendous value to those studying music history, music journalists, etc.!
    I’d love to get my hands on any photos pertains to me (Lotti Golden) you may have in your archive. It was an honor to be included in the book. Email me!
