Chris Charlesworth first heard the call of rock'n'roll at the age of ten: Little Richard singing 'Tutti Frutti'. Seeing the Beatles in 1963 inspired him to buy a guitar and, after training as a journalist, he joined the Bradford Telegraph & Argus whose first ever pop music column he wrote in 1968. Two years later he became a full time music writer on the staff of Melody Maker, first as their News Editor and, in 1973, as their US Editor, based in New York. In seven years on MM he interviewed and/or wrote about just about every rock icon of the era, and his sole regret is never seeing Elvis.
After a spell working for a management company in New York and at RCA in London, he began writing books, including biographies of the Who, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Slade and Cat Stevens. In 1983 he succeeded Miles as Editor at Omnibus Press, whose editorial fortunes he has guided ever since. He has now commissioned and edited over 500 rock and pop books, probably more than anyone else in the world. Outside of Omnibus, Chris' long association with the Who resulted in his compiling and co-producing their 30 Years Of Maximum R&B box set, released in 1995, and subsequently overseeing the wholesale upgrade of their back catalogue on remastered CDs. Though now mostly occupied by coming up with book ideas and editing the work of other writers, his occasional musings have appeared in Record Collector, sundry national papers and on RBP.
