Good Day Everyone, Received a newsletter today from artist-shop dot com. Includes mention of two of Billy's books. Since I've been aware of Gary Davis and the Artist Shop for sometime now, and always being very happy with whatever I purchased from there, I figured I would pass it on:

RUNDGREN,TODD-DREAM GOES ON FOREVER - LTD $34.95
Subtitled - The Continuing Story Of Todd Rundgren - Volume One. Written by
Billy James. Limited edition hard cover. To understand Todd Rundgren is to
understand change, a continual artistic metamorphosis that goes through
various radical stages, yet somehow remains not far from its original roots.
(Roots derived from the music of the mod British rockers of the '60s, such
as the Yardbirds, the Beatles & the Who, the incomparable writing style of
Laura Nyro, as well as the sounds from his own back yard, Philadelphia soul
music.) A true dichotomy in music, Todd Rundgren has continued to amuse &
bemuse fans & critics alike for more than three decades, with his enchanting
songs & music, innovative productions & incessant persistence in dealing
with the music business strictly on his own terms. A Dream Goes On Forever -
The Continuing Story Of Todd Rundgren (volume one) examines the history of
one of America's true rock icons; from his early days of pop stardom with
the Nazz, to the 'whiz kid' productions, which included the likes of
Badfinger & Grand Funk, from the million seller hits, to his psychedelic
explorations, from his idiosyncratic ideologies & philosophies; to the
highly acclaimed conceptual ensemble Utopia. The unbelievable story of
rock's lost genius is now ready to be told. Utopia is here! 470 pages with
B&W photos along with 16 pages of color photos. Golden Treasures Publishing.
2002.

YES-BEYOND & BEFORE (LTD HARDBACK) $38.95
The legendary rock guitarist Peter Banks, who is best known for his work
with Yes & Flash, talks frankly about the struggle to achieve musical
success within early Yes & comments on his contemporary peers such as ELP,
King Crimson & Genesis. Not only is this book a documentation of the
formative years of Yes & Peter Banks' musical history, but also a chronicle
of the origins of Progressive Rock. This limited edition hardback book comes
with an exclusive bonus CD that features the song 'Small Beginnings' which
was a track from the first Flash album. It was also the first real 'song'
Peter Banks had written with Flash member Colin Carter some 30 years ago! In
the late '90s, Peter Banks had begun reworking & recording a new
instrumental version of this track. Although numerous hours were spent on
the project - a lengthy piece close to 20 minutes long - the track was never
completed. Here for the first time is the unfinished opus! Golden Treasures
Publishing. 2001.
End of excerpt.
