I've put this book on my Xmas list so i'll have to wait and see what Santa brings.

I have merged the cover-reveal topic with the general topic about the second edition.

A couple of spoiler images..

I think it's in George Tremlett's The Slade Story, where it's stated that the song the Lea family were listening to, when Jim's mother-in-law asked him, "Why don't you write a song like that?" was White Christmas recorded by Bing Crosby.

People may be interested to see all of the versions of THE NOIZE that exist. Not all of them could be bought.



Every conceivable variation of THE NOIZE.

2019 convention edition unused cover proof (Polydor design, 2-3 copies exist)

The 2019 Convention edition NEARLY had this cover, but we decided to keep it back, just in case we ever did a second edition. So only a couple of proof copies exist. As you all now know, we returned to the design.

We've only sold a dozen copies and I have 9 of them.

I bought the hardback.
Anyone on this forum who has not bought the book, in either soft or hardback, will face a sentence of listening to an ANVIL album in full, in one sitting.

Got the Hardback in time for Xmas, when originally it looked like a January delivery date.

Well, I hope that you really enjoyed it.

How many Forum members have bought this book?
How many has it sold in total?

I'm not going to give out figures, but it did OK the month of re-release.
