Ah but she always had a face as smooth as a baby's, chaps!

I'm happy to review it - got my copy in the post last Thursday morning, thanks to Al Ferrier who texted me to say it was out! (Cheers Al!)

You are most welcome, Mr N. I read Middles' earlier book on hols and it's pretty good, although I felt there were a good few areas that were poorly covered i.e how the band found the courage to continue after Ian's death, how they developed the songs for Movement and indeed, anything really about Movement and P,C and L. He was in the thick of things earlier on and has amazing recall of certain times, places and faces but I'd say that the book is a companion to other books - Deborah's Touching From A Distance is mentioned a fair bit - and Brian Edge's pretty well definitive Pleasures & Wayward Distractions, which I often re-read as it's bang-on.

Looking forward to reading Torn Apart next as that's on the shelf. It's something that they've had several books written about them and other bands never get anthing written about them books-wise!

Finally got round to reading this one over the last week or so.Hadn't bothered with it before as i just thought it would be going over the same old stories and nothing new.A great read though with many tales and insights i hadn't read previously .Astonished to discover some of Ian's letters to Annik and her's to Ian's sister published in there

Superbly detailed accounts by those around Ian of the last couple of months leading up to his death.

Ian was profoundly disturbed by a giant turd at the Leigh festival :rofl:

Annik claims she had an encounter with Ian after his death in the form of a white light breaking through the clouds on the hillside near Tony and Lindsay's house ...? Whether she did or not it certainly seemed to help her.

Erm, not exactly new as Amazon's description says it was published in April 2006. I think its the paperback version which is filling the pre-Christmas shelves. Lets hope people's stockings are big enough.
