Résumé: Some of the stories featured in this stunning 176-page, matt-laminated, hard-back book have previously only been available to readers of the ‘Tales From The Wedding Present’ comic book series. This collected edition comes with over 100 pages of never-before-seen additional material and an introduction by Craig Cash.
‘Something And Nothing’ is presented in chronological order; it takes up where Volume One left off – just after the release of The Wedding Present’s first single in 1985 – and takes us through the next three years of the band’s existence. David goes on to write intimately about all of the events leading up to the writing, recording and release of the band’s classic debut album, ‘George Best’, as well as detailing sessions that the group recorded for John Peel [including the legendary Ukrainian folk music sessions], early live appearances and the development of their label, Reception Records. On the way, we also learn about some of the romantic experiences that may have informed his writing.
