Cheers Uli,

That's the one..

My pleasure, I like to do a bit of research or google-ing.

I have linked up TJ (remember him) and Dave Thompson.  There were a few errors in the original book, so hopefully they will all be amended this time around.

Well I would've thought they'd already been in touch for a long time (judging from posts here back in the day). 
Seems like Tj lost his "link" to some people (incl. this forum) since he changed from computer to smartphone...

Interesting! Does anyone know how many volumes (parts) there will be? 2 or 3?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Seeing the many releases TV put out between 2008 and 2014 (3 studio albums, acoustic album, live album, 2 albums of unreleased demos, remastered re-releases, tour diaries), I guess there is a lot to be written about in volume 2 (or 3)...

My copy was waiting for me when I got home from work today. I've not had chance for a good perusal but on first impressions, it's a bit of a disappointment. The title's misleading, it actually stops in November 1991 without anything from 1992 - 'March Of The Giants' maybe? Although 1991 is a good point to break with the end of Cheap. It's basically a reprint of the original release with odd snippets added e.g. "Sleaze was finally given a full release in 2012......" The appendix looks quite interesting though with an (incomplete - the author's word not mine) A-Z of Sleaze, Adverts, Explorers & Cheap band members other projects. Nice picture of TV on the front though! I guess there wasn't much new information to add to the original so if you've got that, look forward to Volume 2!

Thanks for your review!
