Also, that Jennifer Otter bickerdike has an extract in mojo of her book on nico. Only mention that cos in the index it mentions she has a podcast starting in August which includes interviews with the Sarge and Mr j Marr. Not necessarily at the same time.

Maybe I missed a post or a memo...

I ordered mine from Blackwell's in the UK and the hardcover will release on July 15 2021:

I happened to notice on Amazon US that there is a different US paperback release with a different cover and sub title that officially releases in November 2021:

I'm in the US. The mail here has been bad lately. Hopefully I will get the UK version before the US version is available! :lol:

I went through Rough Trade early on when the announcements for pre-orders first came out...We shall see how soon we get ours. I did get a book yesterday within a few weeks of ordering through a UK photographer...Not nearly as long as it took this past Christmas.

Not quite finished yet and fortunately its not (as Will says Mac says) 'cherry on', pretty good even - much better than that snippet we all read. As we've been made aware you have two hundred pages of old bloke rambling about stuff that went on at school or at home - bit like listening to your older brother banging on about when he was a kid - yes its in that category. Having said that its entertaining enough and candid about you know, spots (loads) girls (none), bed wetting and his mum leaving home - mates, records, skinheads. Remarkable similarities here and there with growing up on a council estate in Leeds - apart from the outcome, my parents did actually like each other and I actually liked school - no wonder I was never going to be a top influential guitar player. All goes up a notch when he discovers erics, meets up with Les, Paul Simpson and the rest of the jolly Erics crew including Mac (named Macul at this point). And at this point its pretty much the story we know but with a few added bits here and there - worrying that people who bought Pictures might be divis. Oh and the actual meeting woith Mac where they decide to form a band - not at erics (truly shocking moment that - as is the attempted seduction scene - I'll leave you to read that bit yourselves). Looking dforward to the next edition.......
