...apparently it's small but perfectly formed! I've not seen it myself, this was posted on Pioneers.

Well Suzanne will be very happy to hear that!!

(I don't know who's worse, me or you, K!!!)

Update: I now have a copy of aforementioned interview. It's not that small (THE INTERVIEW, I MEAN ) - but there is a touch of duplication with the interview I did with Richard! I sense some litigation coming on - either that, or asking Record Collector if they'll give me a job...

any good little tibits we should know about?

Yes... he was the archivist for Japan apparently and has LOADS of stuff at home! This was also mentioned on Pioneers, and I proposed that someone could bring a van round to his house while I distracted him so that we could get all the unreleased stuff

Also, he mentions that he might write a book! I definitely think that he should (quelle surprise!). How could we go about making sure that this actually happens, I wonder...?

(Poor Richard, if he ever meets me, he'll run a mile!!!)

No he wouldn't! (Coz I'd tie his bootlaces together!) I think he should definitely write his book. But, bear in mind Mick has ALREADY written his book, completed it in 2006 I think, and he is still looking for a publisher. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? PUBLISH MICKS BOOK, YOU *******S!!!

BTW: let me know when you plan to relieve RB of his Japan archive and I'll drive the getaway van/truck/16 wheeler/whatever ... just how big do you think it is? The archive I mean!!!

I think it's so big we'll definitely need a lorry. Or a bus - there's an idea; we could disguise ourselves using a bus and Richard wouldn't be at all surprised by seeing a bus, now, would he?

...THE ARCHIVE is big, I mean...

Any of them, all of them...write a book and get it out! Self-publishing an option? If the limited audience is a concern for a publisher, that might be the way to go. I wouldn't mind paying a higher price for a book from one of the sources.

The guys are sitting on goods many a fan would like to get their hands on...so to speak. Photos, for one (and Steve's made some of his available as individual prints - how about a book?). Film, private tapes and all the stories that only they know.

EXACTLY Heart! We want the books and we want them NOW! Can we start some sort of a campaign, a subscription or something? Then email their management and say look, we, the undersigned are willing to pay X amount of £/$ each to get our hands on a copy of the book - any chance of private publishing? Grovel, grovel, etc??? ???

Let's add the photographic restrospective about David that Yuka Fujii's been (supposedly) working on for the last 25 years...
