Turn It Up! - My Time Making Hit Records In The Glory Days Of Rock Music, Featuring Mötley Crüe, Poison, Twisted Sister, Cheap Trick, Jeff Beck, Ted Nugent, and more

"Growing up in the Boston suburbs, Tom Werman was deeply affected by pop music from a young age. He long dreamed of a career in music--first as Elvis, then as the next George Harrison--but it almost didn't turn out that way. Dutifully following the path his parents had laid out for him, he obtained an MBA from an Ivy League university and took a plum job in an industry he came to despise. Then, in 1970, a chance letter sent to CBS Records boss Clive Davis led to a new opportunity . . . and a place in rock'n'roll history." --
