I cannot believe that the book is nearing publication, although, between you and me, it doesn't actually go to print until Monday 4th January. Apparently it is still doable but talk about up against the wire. If all goes to plan it will be available on January 29th.

I hope after all your words of encouragement and the long wait for it to become a reality, it lives up to your expectations. It does, what so many don't, and that is tell the whole story of Terry Parson's life, and as such is a meaty read at 456 pages. The one thing I fought for and won the right to do, is include photographs in each chapter - rather than have a few grouped together on a four pages in the middle of the book. It makes more sense to see the photo that a story or moment relates to.

I look forward to all your comments, both good and bad and hope the wait was worth it.

Here's hoping that your new year is filled with music.

Just noticed Play.com on the ball.Cover of the 4 x CD set depicted.Cutting-edge technology...

Do you mean the 5 x CD set Don

Before we even set eyes on the book we have every confidence that the book will live up to our expectations Michele, if you're happy and satisfied with the result after spending a gruelling Three Year effort to perfect it, then that's good enough for us.
We have appreciated all the superbly remastered and newly discovered music these past few years and and this must surely be the ultimate.
Can't wait to read it and post up our thoughts and comments.

No, Robert.Take a gander...The 4 x CD set. Keep up, Lad !

I think you are looking at the wrong set Don, it's a 5 CD set as Robert said.
I couldn't see it on Play.com

We are really looking forward to the book too Michele, I'm sure it will be a really interesting read.
There's nothing quite like actually holding a brand new book for the very first time, and such a special one as this will be even more exciting.
At last it is finally off your computer and into print!!!!
