LIMITED EDITION, SIGNED by Eric Clapton and Peter Blake. No.2387 of 3000 copies. Slim Quarto with colour plates and illustrations. Book and scrapbook, with additional material. Original green morocco boards, gilt edges, together with a laminated stage pass, guitar picks, and a pack of guitar strings, plus limited double CD '24 Nights', the whole contained in custom-made clamshell box with card tray. A superb production, as expected from Genesis, the pioneers of high quality art-rock publications. Fine throughout. 24 Nights is a unique collaboration between Eric Clapton, Peter Blake and Derek Taylor. Issued to commemorate Eric Clapton's record 24-night performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1991. Peter Blake's scrapbook is a collection of pencil sketches, charcoal drawings and montages showing Eric and the band during rehearsals and performances. Blake was the Associate Artist of the National Gallery and is probably best known for his graphic cover of The Beatles' 'Sergeant Pepper' album cover. A vast selection of original memorabilia from the concert tour including back stage passes, hotel room lists, Polaroid photographs, seating plans, set lists, laminates and sheet music are reproduced in the scrapbook, many of them tip-ins pasted in by hand. The scrapbook is accompanied by a commentary book by Derek Taylor. Taylor attended rehearsals in Dublin, performances at the Royal Albert Hall and the after-show party. His account provides a unique insight into the backstage and on-the-road world of Eric Clapton and his band. A former publicist for the Beatles' Apple Corps (as well as the Mamas and Papas, The Beach Boys and The Byrds), Taylor was one of the most influential music industry professionals of the time. His commentary offers the reader a rare opportunity to experience an insider's perspective on the man who is universally recognised as the world's greatest blues guitarist, labelled 'God' during his time with John Mayall, Cream, and Blind Faith in the mid to late sixties. A very early pop title from Genesis, who have published well in excess of 80 music books; preceded only by I Me Mine (1980), Fifty Years Adrift (1984), Twenty Years Ago Today (1987), Songs by George Harrison (1987) and Blinds and Shutters (1990).

Fifty Years Adrift is the autobiography of Taylor and is "the companion volume to I Me Mine" (prospectus). "Taylor was many things: an elegant writer who could flip into the crudest, earthiest language; a press officer who would go beyond the call of duty at the same time as he placed advertorial copy in the pop magazines of the time; a Beatle intimate taking remedial acid trips with John Lennon at the same time as he was an employee, if not a servant. He defined and extended what it was to be a PR at the same time as he retained a cool, journalistic eye. In the end, he preserved what was best about the high Sixties for future generations. Taylor had remained close to George Harrison, who contributed addenda to 1984's Fifty Years Adrift, a limited-edition book that expanded the Sixties' coverage of As Time Goes By" (Savage). Quarto.
