Making Rumours by Ken Caillat with Steve Stiefel

On the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, a rare insight into the
making
of one of the greatest, and top selling, albums of all time.

“‘This gossipy book describes all the makeups and breakups that figure in one of the most popular and enduring of all rock albums.”
— The New York Times
“It’s hard to imagine the tensions and freak-outs that go on behind studio doors when a band is making a follow-up to a number one album. But throw in broken relationships between band members and an endless supply of cocaine, and for me as a producer, the next step would be to light the fuse and walk away. Ken Caillat, though, ran the course, and you get to read how he survived (well, almost).”
— Dave Stewart, award-winning songwriter/producer and founder of Eurythmics

Making Rumours

The Inside Story of how Fleetwood Mac Made a Masterpiece

By Ken Caillat with Steve Stiefel

Monoray / Hardback / 10 September 2026 / £25

Ken Caillat, the album's co-producer offers us an incredibly rare, front-row seat into the recording studio where Rumours was born. Through Ken, we get to witness first-hand the relationships, the endless partying and the creative struggles that took place whilst he and the band recorded Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, and other timeless tracks.

Discover how the breakdown of two couples within the band made the songs what they are, find out how the band's collective excesses led to some of the most successful recording sessions and why Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had a screaming match while recording You Make Loving Fun.

Featuring 80 exclusive photos, Making Rumours shows how Fleetwood Mac found their voice for the first time, amidst heartbreak, divorce, addiction, and betrayal.


Ken Caillat coproduced Fleetwood Mac's classic 1977 album, Rumours, for which he won the Grammy for Album of the Year. He also produced the group's Tusk, Mirage, and Live albums, as well as their box set, The Chain. He has worked on albums with everyone from Frank Sinatra, Joni Mitchell, Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie to the London Symphony Orchestra.

Steve Stiefel has written several books, including contributions to two by LL Cool J. He also works as a magazine writer and editor.


“Only a select few, including GRAMMY-winning producer Ken Caillat, can say they had a front-row seat for the birth of said phenomenon. The soap opera accompanying the making of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album, Rumours, is a music story for the ages. Making Rumours is Caillat’s personal account of the making of the album. Given Caillat’s work as the album’s co-producer and co-engineer, readers not only get the ultimate behind-the-glass perspective but also an intimate glimpse of the creative process and the triumphs and challenges that ultimately defined Rumours.”
— Tim McPhate, The GRAMMYS
“If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to cut an album with a legendary band who made one of the most popular rock albums in sales and airplay history, then this is the book for you. It’s just an incredible story about how songs like “Dreams” or “You Make Loving Fun” were created, and the talented musicians who made them, with the help of the producers and engineers who put them down on tape and brought them to life.”
— Tom Johnston, the Doobie Brothers

The Manchester Chronicles by Clint Boon

'This is the greatest rock and roll book ever written' – GUY GARVEY, Elbow

'A brilliant storyteller, Clint has been there to see it all first-hand' - TIM BURGESS, The Charlatans

'Clint writes like he speaks and plays; as one who knows' - JOHNNY MARR, The Smiths

'Clint knows it all, has done it all' - PETER HOOK, New Order


The Manchester Chronicles

True Tales of Music, Madness and Mayhem 1976-2006

By Clint Boon

Foreword by Shaun Ryder

Monoray / Hardback / 3 September 2026 / £25

‘The Manchester Chronicles is an exhilarating and highly personal folk-telling of the Manchester music scene, as seen through the eyes and ears of one of the city's favourite sons, Clint Boon from the iconic band, Inspiral Carpets.

From the early days of punk in the mid-1970s through the crucible of the 1980s indie and psychedelic scenes, the explosion of Madchester, Rave and then Brit Pop in the 1990s, this is an intimately told adventure of an extraordinary musical renaissance.

A born storyteller, Clint pieces together a collage of often hilarious stories to give us a unique take on the city's coming of age alongside his own. At art school, rehearsal studios and sweaty gigs in small venues, we meet the movers and shakers of Manchester, often well before they become famous, as they come together to forge their identities and put the city on the map.

Be it a near-fatal tour bus crash, or suffering the ignominy of being on Top of The Pops one week and signing on the dole the next - while your former roadie, Noel (Gallagher), makes pop history - Clint entertainingly captures the mayhem of music, success and the city's extraordinary musical family.

Encountering bands like Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, New Order, The Smiths, James, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Elbow and Oasis along the way, raconteur Clint tells the Manchester legend not as an exhaustive history, but as what it felt like to be there in the moment, taking the trip of a lifetime.


Clint Boon is a musician, broadcaster and DJ based in Stockport. He first came to fame as the keyboard player and songwriter for the Inspiral Carpets, responsible for their defining organ sound and hits like This is How it Feels and Saturn 5. The band, who are still going strong over four decades since their inception, are seen as one of the definitive 'Madchester' groups, producing 11 hit singles and 5 acclaimed top charting albums.

From 2004-2023, Clint became a permanent fixture on various well-known radio stations in Manchester and has become one of the country's most sought-after club DJs. As a key and much-loved figure in Manchester's music scene over the decades, Clint is a passionate advocate for the city and its ever-evolving music scene.
