1st printing. By matt "Matman" Herring. One of the most misunderstood and most important bands in the history of music is Black Sabbath. To those on the outside their music is loud, annoying and Satan worshipping dribble. To those who 'get it', Black Sabbath provided a soundtrack, not only for the disenfranchised of the early 1970's and the dreamers of the 1980's, but for pure music lovers... those who wanted more from their music. BLACK SABBATH - THE VINYL TESTAMENT is a deep history into Black Sabbath, from their first album until THE END! Every album is looked at, the stories leading into it are told and each song is reviewed. Written by music journalist/podcaster/historian Matt (Matman) Herring, THE VINYL TESTAMENT is an intimate and complete look into a half century of bone crushing riffs, thought provoking lyrics and the story f a band that had to fight for every bit of respect... and are still fighting for.Like his other music books, UFO - YOUR FAVORITE BANDS FAVORITE BAND and ASIA - TIME AND TIME AGAIN, Herring has collected his thoughts and words about another band that means so much to him. "When I write about a band, I am completely honest. If I don't like something I will say it. But I will always preface by reminding the reader this is my opinion and it doesn't make it bad." As a lover of history, Herring writes his book as a history lesson for his favorite bands, wanting to tell a story, teach something new and hopefully rekindle a love for his subjects. "One of the big things I got out of putting this book together was how Black Sabbath never had the support they should have, from management and their record labels. Instead of protecting them, the band was kept on the road, in the studio and high enough not to ask the questions thy should have been asking." The book also dives into the pre and post careers of Black Sabbath members including the story about Jimi Bell, currently the guitarist for Autograph and House Of Lords. In 1987, Bell auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne and made the top two and would later join the Geezer Butler Band until that project fell apart. BLACK SABBBTH - THE VINYL TESTAMENT is a full color 230+ page book that features an incredible cover by Andrew Edge, paying homage to The Beatles, a band Black Sabbath and Herring love! Inside are awesome fan pictures, taken at concerts, meet and greets and also features rarities from fan collections, including posters, bootlegs and autographed albums and CDs. Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 254 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

How did a very young messed up woman, a drug addict filled with doubt, become in a few years a planetary icon of rock music?
Janis Joplin went from the shadows to the blinding light of fame in only four records (the last one issued a month and a half after her tragic death). Thanks to a worldwide movement of emancipation which would consecrate for a long time the ideals and modes of alternative lifestyles from counterculture to the flower power generation, Janis, the ugly duckling, gave free rein to her impulses.
Joplin left for San Francisco, the epicenter of cultural innovation, where she lived a freedom of which she would hardly have dared to dream, abandoning herself to all impulses, overcoming without hesitation all the taboos of the time: bisexuality, alcohol, drugs, doing so not only with delight, but with the taste for excess which came naturally from her spontaneous character.

1st printing. By Rob Reiner with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre, the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his cowriters and costars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious band-how they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer provide the backstories to the movie's famous lines-among them "Hello, Cleveland!," "None more black," "You can't dust for vomit," and "These go to eleven"-and to such Tap anthems as "Big Bottom" and "Stonehenge." Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia, and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever will delight Tap-heads of all ages-just as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theaters. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, PC. Cover price $35.00.
