Tony Palmer and Ralph Steadman, Forward by John Lennon

Signed limited edition of this re-publication of Tony Palmer's first book on the state of pop music at the beginning of the 1970's. Limited to just 26 lettered copies, of which this is "S," signed by both Palmer and Steadman with an original signed collage and screenprint artwork by Steadman called "Pop Pedestal." Complete with three tissue guards and the original publisher's prospectus.

First published in 1970, Born Under a Bad Sign captures the essence of the 1960s, where music authentically reflected the emotions and spirit of the time, unfiltered by nostalgia or wishful thinking. This tribute to artistic innovation includes profiles of bands like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd, and more. The book evolved from Palmer’s BBC documentary, All My Loving, which gained significant attention for scenes like Hendrix’s provocative guitar performance and Townshend’s notorious equipment-smashing. This edition is enriched with illustrations by Steadman, whose vivid portrayals of musicians draw comparisons to satirical masters like Doré and Hogarth.

Lexington, KY/ Tucson, AZ: Isolde Films/Steam Press, in association with Petro III Graphics and Sylph Publications, 2004. Half black cloth over marbled boards, upper cover lettered in red, spine lettered in silver, endpapers illustrated by Steadman, housed in the original clamshell case with leather spine label lettered in silver, complete with three tissue guards and the original publisher's prospectus laid in; pp. [xxii], 11-192, [viii] with a tipped-in full color illustration by the Steadman to p. [ix] and with numerous black and white illustrations throughout the text. A fine copy of this fantastic production. Traces of rubbing to prospectus, slipcase shows just traces of handling.
