Review
I really enjoyed reading this book: so much so, that I completed the 284 pages of text in just over a week. Johannes van den Berg and George Young morphed from the Easybeats into Vanda and Young: one of the greatest Australian songwriting teams and producers for the Alberts roster of artists.
There is a well researched discography toward the end of the book: it makes a lot more sense once the book is read. The discography is followed by a comprehensive Suggested Bibliography: made up, in many cases, of print articles from newspapers and magazines. The one thing the book lacks is an index, as this text is a great source for future researchers of Australian popular music; for instance the suggested subject list on Worldcat includes: AC/DC (Musical group); Australia; Biographies; Biography; Criticism, interpretation, etc; Friendship; Guitaristes Australie Biographies; Guitarists Australia Biography; Musicians; Musiciens rock Australie Biographies; Producteurs d'enregistrements sonores Australie Biographies; Rock music; Rock musicians; Rock musicians Australia Biography; Sound recording executives and producers; Sound recording executives and producers Australia Biography; Vanda, Harry; Young, George, 1946-2017; Young, George, 1946-2017 Friends and associates...

Text Review (Other reading of related texts)
Vanda and Young : The Official Songbook: an interesting selection of twenty songs performed by eight artists (see table of contents, below). It includes many illustrations of the performing artists, album covers, or contemporary sheet music; it is let down a little, however, by not adding any captions to the illustrations.
