That's a coincidence. Just came home from seeing Psychic TV tonight, in Oslo.
They ripped.

in brief: terrifying The Man was pretty easy in 1970s England, all related parties were sweet cuddly people who continued to be so throughout their careers, Hawkwind fans used to be less tolerant than you'd think they ought to be, Wreckers of Civilization is well worth the read

Just seen a new edition of Wreckers of Civilisation listed on Amazon for August. Anybody know anything about that?Have been hoping that Cosey's memoir might prompt a new edition.

there was supposed to be a repress in nov 2015 that amazon took my money for and eventually refunded. so i am skeptical. but would be awesome if it happened.

Appears to be legit, probably a straight reprint with no new material:https://black-dog-publishing.myshopify.com/products/wreckers-of-civilisation

Shame about the no new material if that's true. I thought there had been so9me significant events since it was originally published, band reforming shortly, sleazy dying, back catalogue being remastered etc.But have regretted not having got it before.

Having read Cosey's book, the criticism that Wreckers was overly Gencentric seems valid.

possibly, but I am still gonna snap this up if it finally becomes available again, thanks for the update.
