ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My deep thanks are due to my friend and collaborator Julian Balme at Vegas Design for the inspired design and layout of this ‘sea of words’.
To Bob and Roberta Smith for painting the cover the words are delighted to have. To Mark at Mecob for making the words shout from the cover.
A big thank you to Ian Neil and his team at Sony Music for clearing the song lyrics. Thank you to Yuri Zupancic and James Grauerholz at William Burroughs Communications and Charles Buchan at the Wylie Agency for their help regarding use of texts by Brion Gysin. Thanks to Steve McDermott and David Lindsey for the use of the Cambridge Free Festival poster – design by ‘Steff’ – from 1969.
Thank you to John Mitchinson, Mathew Clayton, Anna Simpson, Jimmy Leach and ALL of the saviour dudes at the very good ship Unbound who have spent many more of their waking hours than they expected helping me turn nineteen boxes of ‘real gone’ manuscript into one ‘real live’ adventure story of the mind.
And, not least, thank you to EVERYONE who believed in and pledged for this unbound, unknown quantity.
I hope that – as Yusuf Islam said – “it works for you”.
Thank you also to John Nightly himself; The Magicien, the Master – Baba – the Presence. The man that he was and might have, would have been.
Finally, thanks to all the future ex-pop stars parading our streets, those same magiciens who, thirty years later, might be stacking shelves, digging up the roads and driving us around in mini-cabs when they should be creating.
This lone book is dedicated to you all.
Tot Taylor, July 2017
SUPPORTERS
Unbound is a new kind of publishing house. Our books are funded directly by readers. This was a very popular idea during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Now we have revived it for the internet age. It allows authors to write the books they really want to write and readers to support the books they would most like to see published.
