Mick Karn's Autobiography

[Tim91]

I'm just really happy Mick got the book published at all.

that's the truth
maybe I wish there was a wee bit more on Japan but Mick's first hand account is priceless & more than I really could have hoped for
& one other thing the book did, which I'm actually glad happened, is that it took David Sylvian off the pedestal I'd always put him on in my mind, don't get me wrong I'm still a huge fan of his work, but it's good to see the human (and obviously flawed) side of him

My only disappointment with the book was it's lack of colour photos and I would have liked to have seen more photos of them when they were first together as a group. Altho I do appreciate having a colour section would have made the book more expensive to produce.

Where was that picture taken? Butlin's?!

Nah! That was taken at the 'White Jazz Shoe Convention 1978' in Benidorm. David won that year by default - apparently.
