It’s not a sequel… it’s an equal…
The second instalment of The PWEI Book Project documents the bands move from Indie label Chapter 22 to major label RCA, and their first two years under the corporate behemoths watch - from their first UK Top 40 hit ‘Can U Dig It?’ to the epic ‘The Pop Will Eat Itself Cure For Sanity’ album, all interspersed throughout with Adam Moles brilliantly entertaining ‘Partial Recall’ notes and annotations.
Witness the Poppies tour the globe, meet pornstar-cum MP Cicciolina, and go head-to-head with the NME… and their own fans, all the while making some of the most groundbreaking music of the 20th century!
If you bought the first book then you’ll know these are lavish, high-quality, affairs, and Book 2 is even heftier! It’s stuffed full of 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, and Adam Mole - as well as those of crew members Oscar Harris, Alex McCarten and John Sale, and unprecedented access to the The Designers Republic™ artwork vault, this instalment offers a visual feast of memorabilia - jam packed with rare tour posters, T-shirts, and collectables!
Want more? OK, it also contains seldom seen / previously unpublished shots by some real legends of rock photography including Kevin Cummins, Tony Barratt, Joe Dilworth, Tim Jarvis, Per Löwendahl, Tony Mott, Phil Nichols, Ronnie Randall, Ian Tilton, and more!
All this plus comprehensive, image-packed gigography and discography sections mark the PWEI Book Project as the most in-depth ongoing documents of any band out there… and Volumes 3 & 4 are still to come!
Let’s get down to it, boppers…
