From the Back Cover:

It's a story that has never been properly told - an insider's account of the formative years of Oasis set against the wider background of the cultural and musical energy of Manchester at the time. Written by Chris Hutton, a founding member of Oasis forerunner, the Rain, DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER challenges many of the myths that have sprung up about the band's beginnings. Hutton reveals how football was not quite the all-encompassing passion that most band members claim and that tales of a rabble-rousing youth were frequently exaggerated. The gigantic impact of the Stone Roses, Madchester and Spike Island prompted Hutton to form the Rain with Guigsy, Bonehead and Tony McCarroll. Hutton recounts the early days of the band and shows how this period was vital to the development of the Oasis sound. And Chris tells how his friends unceremoniously dropped him from the band to make way for Liam and Noel Gallagher and describes what it was like to be left behind, watching the others change as they progressed from anonymity to stardom.
