Glenn A. Baker is to Australian rock music what Bob Woodward is to American politics. But questions remain. The “A”? The hat? What happened backstage at Countdown?
Glenn A. Baker is a rock historian, collector, author and impresario. Now 72, he’s offloading his lifetime collection of 80,000 vinyl records, CDs and pieces of rock memorabilia accumulated over more than six decades.: I was 12, sitting at home in my red jammies, watching the evening news. It led with the arrival of the Beatles at Mascot Airport on their 1964 tour, and my life was never the same again.
