Dustwrapper bright. *** 176 pages. 252mm x 192mm. ***'"Wilderness of the Mind" is a celebration of Marc Bolan's life and work through a host of photographs, drawings, lyrics, notes and personal reminiscences, the vast majority of which have never been published before, making it a treasure-trove for fans and collectors - and an eye-opener for more casual admirers, as Marc's diaries and scribbles openly reveal his sexuality and early way of life. ***Many of the photographs were taken by co-author Caron, and are published here for the first time. There are dozens of pieces, lyrics, notes, letters, diaries and drawings in Marc's own hand, many given personally by Marc to Caron, or to Caron and John by Marc's parents after his death. Few of these have been seen before. ***Among those interviewed exclusively for the book are Mike Pruskin, Marc's friend and early manager ("No-one has ever interviewed me before, and I'm the one who got Marc his first recording contract!"); Andy Ellison, co-member of "John's Children"; Marc's manager Tony Howard, who has remained silent until now and who also contributes an approving foreword for the book; and Mike Mansfield, producer of 'Supersonic' and other notable rock shows, who talks about Marc's showmanship and their friendship. And in a piece written especially for this book Morrissey offers a charming appreciation of his early hero ("I can't cleverly theorize about Marc: I just loved him."). ***The book also includes a detailed look at Marc's TV and film appearances, plus Caron's first-hand recollections of the eventful T. Rex tours of 1976-7; and an unexpurgated look at life on the road, in particular the "Futuristic Dragon" tour on which Marc was struggling with a drink problem during every performance, and also his comeback during the "Dandy in The Underworld" tour of 1977 just before his tragic and untimely death, when there was so much more in prospect. ***Finally, a critical listing of Marc's records offers reliable guidance to his legacy, with many fascinating details for collectors and hitherto unpublished notes and lyrics in Marc's own handwriting giving amazing insights into his creative mind at work.' (Quotes taken from the dustwrapper) ***This is the first impression of the true first edition, signed and inscribed by both authors, No. 355 of one thousand limited, numbered copies, complete in its original dustwrapper, extremely hard to find in such nice, collectable condition, and with embellished signatures. Of interest to academics and musicians researching glam rock music history, and collectors of work related to Marc Bolan and T. Rex. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Signed and Inscribed by Author.
