Pop Will Eat Itself – The RCA Years Volume 2: 1991-1993
Large Format (28cm x 25cm) / Hardback / Full Colour / 544 Pages
Written by Paul Snell (PWEINATION / The Pop Will Eat Itself Book Project)
in collaboration with Adam Mole (PWEI)
Edited by Soxan Pance
Foreword by Fuzz Townshend
Five of the Black Country’s fastest guns say come and get it…
The third instalment of The PWEI Book Project documents the band’s final two years on major label RCA - from their UK Top 20 hit ‘X Y & Zee’ thru their final RCA album ‘The Looks Or The Lifestyle’ to the UK Top 10 smash ‘Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies!' - interspersed throughout with Adam Moles insightful and amusing ‘Partial Recall’ notes and annotations.
Witness the Poppies: get told off by PepsiCo; meet Rolf Harris (oh dear), Howard ‘Howeird’ Freeman, Joe Mangel, and the Blakeney Twins; cause global mayhem with EMF; get a drummer in; become the first ever unsigned band to appear on Top Of The Pops; save the entire planet; gain well-overdue critical appreciation; and sign to indie label Infectious Records.
If you bought the first two books then you know the score; these are lavish, high-quality, affairs - and Book 3 is the biggest to date! It’s bursting with yet more behind-the-scenes photos from the personal archives of the PWEI inner-circle and die-hard fans, most never-before unleashed on the public!
With access to the personal archives of The Incredible PWEI themselves: Graham Crabb, Clint Mansell, Richard March, Adam Mole, and Fuzz Townshend - as well as those of crew members Oscar Harris, Alex McCarten, Milky, and John Sale, plus unprecedented access to The Designers Republic™ artwork vault, this instalment offers another visual feast of memorabilia - jam packed with rare tour posters, T-shirts, and collectables!
Not enough? OK, it also contains seldom seen / previously unpublished shots by some real legends of rock photography including: A.J. Barratt, Paul Cox, Jeff Davey, Steve Double, James Fry, Martyn Goodacre, Tim Jarvis, Tom Sheehan, Ed Sirrs, Peter J Walsh, and Andy Willisher,
All this plus comprehensive, image-packed gigography and discography sections mark the PWEI Book Project as the most in-depth ongoing document of any band out there… and Volume 4 is still to come!
No half measures!
