Alvin's second volume of memoirs covers 11 years of his fascinating and entertaining life story from his leaving the U.K. Subs in 1983, to the break up of Cheap And Nasty in 1994.
Foreword by Ginger Wildheart
In this enthralling and thrilling rollercoaster of a narrative, you'll share Alvin's experiences of touring the world with the Iggy Pop Band, his post-U.K. Subs band with Nicky Garratt, Alvin nearly dying at EMI, his working with the deceased, the perils of parachuting, battles with the taxman over the Subs' management mishandling, his falling in love with Martial Arts, the ups and downs of his marriage whilst being a touring musician, Alvin's joining of Hanoi Rocks (briefly), holidays to India, China, Egypt and Japan amongst other wonderful places, his relocation to California and then back to London, the tale of the formation, endeavours, battles and eventual sad demise of Cheap And Nasty, playing gigs with Johnny Depp, recording the Subs' re-union LP 'Killing Time' and surviving the 1987 Whittier Narrows 5.9-degree magnitude earthquake.
And if that isn't a seismic synopsis enough for you, then add to all that the fact that this glorious second volume is fully illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs from Alvin's personal archive.
