Hi, up for auction here is an excellent book; Motley Crue, Lude, Crude & Rude by Sylvie Simmons & Malcolm Dome. Published by Castle Communications (and distributed by Penguin Books), in Surrey, England back in 1994. - Another item I’m selling on behalf of a friend, owned by him since almost new - almost twenty five (25) years ago!
(*Please note, the photos used are of the actual Motley Crue book for sale).
This is a large format, 8¼” x 11¾” (21cm x 29.6cm) *160 pa...ge softback book .(*Not including covers), printed on quality semi gloss paper stock. It traces the history of Motley from Chapter One - 'In The Beginning’ through to Chapter Thirteen - ‘Time For A Change’ - their self titled album and the arrival of John Corabi.
A great read, not a cash-in, cut & paste job, well written by long time, respected music journalists Sylvie Simmons & Malcolm Dome who both worked for U.K. music 'papers & magazines, e.g., 'SOUNDS', 'Kerrang!', 'Raw', etc, etc, in the 1970’s & ‘80’s. Lots of history, stories, direct quotes from the band, and many great photos. - Colour & black & white live, studio and candid shots covering all Crue history.
As for the condition, I’m a collector myself and pretty critical when rating items. Having said that, this in very good + shape I’d say. It shows signs of shelf wear. Not bad at all though, front cover shows a few bumps, the most obvious being the top right corner, slight creasing to that and the top corners of the pages throughout. NO dog eared, bent over pages, etc. Back cover is a similar story; some light scrapes, but NO ink loss, etc. Spine is in great shape, a couple of non worrying 'burrs' on the bottom corners - but with no rips, tears, splits, etc. ALL pages are fully intact, binding is 100 % with no loose or splitting pages, etc, Some signs of ‘foxing’ on the tops of pages and spotting on the inside covers, not mould, etc. I’m making this sound worse than it actually is LOL, but trying to be honest. Used but not abused, I’d give it an overall rating of a 7 out of 10.
There you have it, a superb and long out of print book for the Motley Crue aficionado/collector.
