I'm Into Something Good : My Life Managing 10cc, Herman's Hermits & Many More!
10cc, Herman's Hermits - Book - by H. Lisberg ,C.Thomas
(2023)
When 22-year-old accountant Harvey Lisberg heard the Beatles' 'Please
Please Me', he had an epiphany: he could be Manchester's answer to Brian
Epstein. He had a musical ear, a knack for numbers and a gambler's
instinct for taking a punt. Within a year he had taken local group,
Herman's Hermits, to number one with 'I'm Into Something Good'.
Soon, Hermania was a global phenomenon. Harvey had found his vocation.
In this uproarious, frank and moving autobiography, he reveals the
excesses of life on the road with Herman's Hermits; the frustration of
championing unknowns Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber; the highs and
lows of managing the brilliant 10cc; the utter madness of looking after
snooker bad boys Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and Jimmy 'Whirlwind' White
and much, much more.
Many other artists benefitted from
Harvey's guidance during this time, includingTony Christie, Barclay
James Harvest, Sad Cafe and the Chameleons. I'm Into Something Good is
his account of a life that started in Salford and ended up in Palm
Springs; a life in which he travelled the world, met heroes and
villains, fulfilled his dreams, spent a fortune on good living, family
and friends, and never took himself or his achievements too seriously.
'Harvey came along and turned us into stars.
He believed in us
when no one else cared.' Peter Noone, Herman's Hermits'Harvey was one of
the very first to recognise potential in Andrew and myself. He spotted
'Joseph' as a winner way before it became one.' Sir Tim Rice'He
virtually invented modern management. In terms of the UK's music
history, there really is no one like Harvey.' Tony Wilson
