With new interviews with Bernadette Peters, Melissa Manchester, Christine Andreas, Michael Jay, Dean Pitchford and Lenora Nemetz, complete discographies and songographies, a detailed listing of his best songs, and chockful of rare photos, award-winning author Lawrence Schulman explores the life and career of the late singer-songwriter Peter Allen, whose music is the centerpiece of this groundbreaking work, which aims to put him in the Pantheon of American composers of the Great New American Songbook.

“For me, this book was a surprise and a discovery. I knew nothing about Peter Allen until I read it. For those who remember him, this book will enrich your knowledge of his origins, his songs and his public reception. For those for whom the name means nothing, Lawrence Schulman has come to the rescue with this brilliant account of a singular talent of the twentieth century. Reading it, I was completely absorbed. Singer, performer, extraordinary songwriter: Peter Allen was all three, but until now, he has never received the acclaim he deserves for his writing. Schulman’s book sparkles, not just with facts but with personal anecdotes that move, sadden, and even thrill. Quotes from those who worked with Allen, from those who knew him but never did, as well as reflections on his homosexuality – these details and more add a special intimacy to what could have been yet another nod to a bygone singer. Photographs of Allen’s childhood, family and friends, and performances complete the portrait. Bravo to Schulman for restoring this unique musical artist to life! This book is a treasure.”
— JANE EVELYN ATWOOD, photographer

“A significant contribution to the story and history of popular music that grips the reader.”
— RICHARD ESTES, painter

“Lawrence Schulman returns with skill, knowledge, creativity, and an analytical mind exhibited in his Judy Garland book to introduce us to another extraordinary singer, Peter Allen, whose phenomenal talent as a songwriter was equally unique.”
— MELITA WESTERLUND, sculptor

“Lawrence Schulman extends his depth of appreciation and knowledge to the vibrant songs and performances of the Australian singer-songwriter Peter Allen. With Schulman, we enter the realm of rich writing and insights--well known through his essays on Judy Garland—that heighten the pleasure of listening to Allen, who died far too young.”
— JUDITH GOLDSTEIN, founder of Humanity in Action

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
