Bringing the News from Nowhere
Wembley Park: Fuse Records, 1992. Rawlings, Jini. 1st Edition. Soft cover. 125 songs by the satrical songwriter. From the Introduction: "If I make any claim for these songs, it is that I have tried to use whatever songwritingskills I have learned to reflect as honestly as possible the world that I live in and my experience of that world. I have consciously tried to bridge the gap between the smart songwriters, the skilled technicians, the clever rhymesters, the Cole Porters who have usually had nothing much to say (and what they have said has often been lies) and those songwriters who do have something to say but haven't been able to make the creative and imaginative leap to translate that something into song form (a song, after all, is not a statement, a manifesto, a bulletin, a confessional or a message board)." Stiff card covers around a comb binding. Designed and illustrated by Jini Rawlings. Minor scuffs and bumping to corners, minimal toning throughout. 318 pp. 11 x 9" Very Good. Item #2023-P258
