Special Reserve
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2010 7:37 pm
This edition is one that I really had to fight for, and as such we still do not have a release date other than February. As you might now know the trade book isn't going to bed until Monday 4th January and obviously that has to come first before the second book goes to print but I am keeping my fingers crossed that all goes to plan. The new visuals are featured on the opening pages of the website and I am really pleased how they look.
One thing that the special edition includes in a special CD and that is something that is ONLY available to this edition. I will not release it anywhere else and I am thrilled to include some real rarities. Admittedly some are not up to the greatest broadcast quality but Richard has weaved his magic and done a stellar job, as always. I weighed up the decision and decided it is better to make it available than not at all, especially the Camay advert and more importantly the Pagliacci, which is a real treat.
The full track titles are available through the opening pages of the website but I think you will agree it is a very exciting list. More importantly they have been included because they specifically apply to stories featured in the book itself.
Richard has excelled himself and produced the Annotated Sessions for inclusion and it includes every session dad ever did and what was recorded and when. There is also a worldwide discography, a television and radio listing as well as hundreds (well it feels like that) of rare photographs of dad.
I know it won't be cheap but for those that do buy it, I hope it is the definitive collector's item for your vast collections.
