Available now at Amazon.co.uk. It won't be out in the U.S. for possibly another year. Sounds like it's worth it just to order the import.

According to Reynolds, "It's not coming out until January 06 at the earliest, possibly April. It's also going to be much shorter -- four chapters cut out altogether, two compressed into one, and smaller cuts passim. I estimate it's about 40 thousand words shorter than the UK version. The UK version is also illustrated whereas the US one isn't.

I'm doing a piece in the Observer Music monthly (which i'll link to from the blog) on how it was the best era of music ever, and one in Time Out UK about London during that period (not sure if they put stuff on the web). Possibly other pieces."

752 pages, damn! Can't wait to read it.

I also noticed this on the shelf the other day:

Cinderella's Big Score : Women of the Punk and Indie Undergroundby Maria Raha, published December 10, 2004.

My copy came today. Looks like my Student loan application will have to wait a couple of days, I'm going to be busy.

Of course I headed straight to Chapter 18 FUN N' FRENZY Postcard And The Sound Of Young Scotland. I'll doubleback later.
