Andrew
Greenaway:
The softcover version of my FZ88 book
with Sergio Albonico is now available from
Wymer UK (or there’s a few signed copies available from my online
store). For those who bought the limited edition hardback, you
don't need this one too: yes, it has a different cover, I've
corrected a few typos and added the Last US Show to
the discography plus one ‘new’ quote from Chad Wackerman
about how the band was initially put together for a TV show
that never happened. But that's it. Save your money for gas!
