John Wetton is a genius multi-instrumentalist who has demonstrated his brilliant playing, captivating singing voice, and rare musical talent as a songwriter through his groundbreaking work with numerous popular groups such as King Crimson, UK, and Asia, as well as his wide range of session work. This book is 304 pages long and does not include any reprinted articles, and chronologically compiles the history of his brilliant activities and all of his performances over more than half a century.
The DVD provides detailed explanations of approximately 400 audio and video titles (including official bootlegs) that he was involved in throughout his life, with detailed credits such as release date, track list (including mention of reissues and bonus tracks on each international edition), composer, participating members (instruments played), recording studio (or recording venue and date), etc.
In addition, there is an impressive record gallery overflowing with LPs, including first editions and deluxe jackets, and singles from various countries, as well as Japanese LP/CD with obi strips and cassette tapes, as well as a carefully selected collection from the vast amount of memorabilia collected by fans.
At the end of the book, an interview from the 1990s in which he talks about his early activities is published for the first time in its complete, uncut form.
This is the ultimate visual and data book, packed with extensive and profound content, and a must-have for fans of Wetton and progressive rock.
There is no other book like this.
