<<As a matter of interest have many you sighted the soft cover edition
of the
bio in your local shops?
To those who bought a copy what did they think of the later edition with

updated text,  never before seen photos and complete discography at the
back?

Was it worth 'shelling out' again?
Just interested tis all

Hi Mark, I haven't seen the paperback edition in any of the shops here:
A&R, Borders, Dymocks, though they had the hardback edition. Collins
also had a whole rack of the hardback but I haven't been back lately to
see if they had the paperback.
I bought a copy of the paperback from Amazon UK. Yes I think there is
enough new material to make it well worth having.  I just wish there had

been the space to include a few more countries in the 'hits' lists, as
that would show more of the universal appeal of these songs

Cheers
Phyll

Australia was in Her Majesty's Commonwealth of Nations so I don't see how 
that counts as a black mark.  It would be more relevant that Barry and
Maurice have lived primarily in the United States for 26 years, if 
residency counts at all.

But it's a political thing too, and who you know, and that's got to be even 
more relevant.  For that matter why is it only Mick?  They don't have five
hundred years of tradition giving it to groups.  It's hard with three Gibb 
brothers.  You know, give it to one brother, and then they're not speaking
till the others get it too.  Count your blessings.
