£142!!!! You can get an original copy of Stretcher Case Baby/Sick of Being Sick for less than that. Goes a long way towards a copy of DDD with Eddie & the
Hot Rods on the back too.
I must get this book though.....................not at that price. |

That £142 was 'just' before Christmas, but it was a mint copy, so I think a seller bumped the price up for that, look pre-Christmas on amazon and I
expect they'll rise again. Clicking on amazon today it is going for £35. Still a lot for, and I agree with, something that after a few flicks the pages
start to fall out. Honestly...I reckon...For that price they could have issued a hard back...longevity and all that....

Don't forget though the book, as good as it is, only goes up to 1987 and things have moved on since then!
What I would really enjoy is a bio by DV one day ... now that would be worth waiting for. |

£142? That's what I'd call "dreamer's prices," wait til one is on ebay, you can get it for like £20 probably.

Haven't got the sheet music yet, I've seen it and it's not too great, not like they tabbed out Cap & Brian's solos or anything. Saw it in a store years ago, couldn't part with the cash though, bought a Pink Floyd book instead which was a wiser investment: The PF has tabs, much easier for us lazy guitarists.  (Plus Gilmour is a great guitarist imo, can learn a lot from him!)

Nope J, cuz if DV wrote about DV it'd be an autobiography not a biography 'bio'.

Could be about damned you, damned me (how could anyone call this a curse) but that's a different song.

Would be better if Cap and DV wrote an updated Light At The End of The Tunnel to fill in from 87 onwards and to get DV's input from '76 - 87 (since it
was missing in the original book).
Can't see it somehow, as I can't imagine the fan(g) base being not as big now as what it was then.

It would be a good item to have on sale at gigs, as a lot of people pick stuff up there, especially one's that have been out of the loop for a while, also a coup for the Official Merch page worldwide. |

Nice idea about LATT part 2, but they haven't even got round at finishing the "History" for the website, so I don't think this will ever
happen...
Also the late 80's and the reunion gigs '91-'92 and the breakup of the NOTE line-up probably weren't the happiest times for the Damned - they might feel 'uncomfortable' to remind themselves of this... |

I remember buying the LATEOTT book I was a pissed-off teenager on holiday with my parents, I think it was the only time I cracked a smile in the entire
fortnight
 My copy was much loved - and hanging together now!

Got mine by listing it in a 'wants' section and willing to pay xxx on Amazon, I think I put £12 max, I'd forgotten all about it 'til one day a
package arrived, the guy asked me to leave him a good feedback, and I did try, but I was pants on computers back then (and not much better now), got the music
book straight away, don't know why I fannied about with the other one

A little bird told me a long time ago that someone was going to scan the pages, put them on photobucket or whatever so everyone could read it at least if they
can't find it or don't have the cash. Like a lotta things in damnedland it never happened. But it is a good idea right? Especially as I'm hearing
the stories of loose pages here, not too hard to scan. Oh but who has the time?? Hey I'd offer but my book's in one piece - no way in hell I'm
scanning that.

Consider yourself lucky! My mother destroyed my book & ripped my wall-size poster of New Rose.
