Throughout the book Mr Pringle's writing remains both amazingly well-researched and detailed - yet always down-to-earth and honest. He never candy coats Mr Smith, painting him as a talented writer - but equally a difficult to get on with, bossy and often unpredictable figure, who throughout his life battled with substance abuse. He writes with true passion, yet always keeps his writing both entertaining and interesting - never resulting in bland and dull assessments. You Must Get Them All: The Fall on Record, truly stands as one of the gold standard books I’ve read on a musical project. As it gets just right it’s mixture of bio, even and balanced critic, and interesting facts 'n' figures. I do hope this won’t be Mr Pringle's one and only book, as he really is a highly talented writer - who juggles perfectly fact and personal observations - all packaged in a highly entertaining manner.
