Paul Weller SIGNED Magic: A Journal Of Song Limited Collectors Edition Book. Please note that this is a pre-order item. Limited edition box set, limited to only 2,000 copies worldwide. Collector edition, signed by Paul Weller. Featuring two numbered and stamped lyric prints, Fully bound in Imitlin with screen printing, foil blocking and gold page edging. Binding: The cover is an original, hand-drawn illustration containing over 25 references to Paul Weller’s lyrics. Box: Screen-printed and foil-blocked box. Extras: Collector copies also include two 8″x10″ (200mm x254mm) lyric prints of one of Weller’s favourite songs,’Aspects’, from his 2018 solo album True Meanings. Produced exclusively for the edition, Weller’s handwritten lyrics to’Aspects’ are beautifully recreated over two sheets. The second print is numbered, stamped, and both are suitable for framing. There is talent and there is skill, but there’s a certain amount of magic attached to songwriting. “Magic: A Journal of Song” is a fascinating portrait of one of Britain’s most prolific songwriters. “Magic” combines a selection of over 100 lyrics from across Paul Weller’s musical life, proving him to be the ultimate shapeshifter: from The Jam’s punk sensibilities to the genre-defying Style Council, through to a remarkable 30-year solo career. His third Genesis edition, “Magic” is narrated by Weller and illustrated with more than 450 photographs and pieces of ephemera throughout. A revealing commentary garnered over a series of conversations with journalist and author Dylan Jones covers the songs, the stories and inspirations behind them, and all of the 28 albums of Weller’s ever-evolving musical journey. As a songwriter, Paul Weller has proved that he is not only beyond reproach, in some senses he is quite possibly without equal. Paul Weller is an award-winning musician with a career spanning almost 50 years. He has been an integral part of the British music scene since the early 1970s, when he founded The Jam. Following this, he teamed up with keyboardist Mick Talbot to create The Style Council, in which political statements were aired to nostalgic, summer-soaked melodies, and has gone on to have a hugely successful solo career. As a songwriter, Weller is considered on par with artists such as Paul McCartney and David Bowie and has received awards from the BRITs (Lifetime Achievement Award), NME Awards (Godlike Genius Award) and a GQ Award for Songwriter of the Year. Over the years, he has developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of dozens of different genres. But more importantly, he still writes and performs with the enthusiasm of a teenager. A former editor at i-D, The Face, Arena, GQ, the Observer and the Sunday Times, he is a former media columnist and the author of over 20 books. He was the Chairman of the Prince’s Trust’s Fashion Rocks, a Chairman of the British Fashion Council, a board member of the Norman Mailer Writers Colony and is a Trustee of the Hay Festival and an ambassador for the UK’s GREAT Campaign. In June 2013, he was awarded an OBE for services to journalism. Thanks for looking and any questions, please feel free to get in touch!
