David, little actual review I think.' Monumental effort/labour of love' and the reviewers own history of the band but v little about what's in the book. (or if its any good) |

Enquiries elsewhere have yielded exactly one person other than me in the UK who has even had the email saying their copy has been dispatched.
I think it's probably time Rocket 88 got a rocket themselves.

Still no trace of mine. I sent a message yesterday and got an immediate stock reply about the weather holding up delivery from Italy and an assurance that mine was in the warehouse awaiting despatch.
Getting a little concerned now.

So they ship from Italy to a UK location and ship from there? A Christmas delivery'll be impressive.
I've a feeling my copy may achieve a rarity value at this rate.
All offers welcome.

Yes me too, though I didn't recognise the sender and the subject line was generic so i almost deleted it as spam. My spam filter thought it was anyway.

Still no e-mail here... But at least some more of you are getting it, so that's a bit more hopeful.

'each book signed by each member of the band' The boy John speaks correctly. There's a bound-in slip with the siggies on. [Photo over 400 days old. Removed by Admin.] |

therefore the press release should have read.......
'a piece of paper with the bands signatures stuck in the front of the book'.
