    it just got better and better and better
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2014*

I was initially a little uncertain about this book however as I began to chomp my way through it, it just got better and better and better.  I am a long term KC nut and know a good deal of the history but this fills all the gaps.  The style took a little getting used to but Sid obviously has his dictionary for breakfast every day.  Sometimes a little verbose and overly ebullient but generally excellent and the interpretation and insight into the underpinning of some of the tracks is exceptional.  I listen to the stuff routinely and I am a drummer but how the hell did he pick out stuff like "the guitar riff is in 12/8 and the engine room is driving a 7/8 and 5/8 to match with the drums on a different downbeat to the bass before reversing into opposing rythms"  Who else could possibly have heard the comment from Fripp about not knowing what Mastelloto was playing other than it fitted - the reply from Pat was obviously " why do I need to play the same as the guitars , I am on drums"Excellent stuff.  My only question to Sid Smith would be "when is part two coming out ?"  This obviously stopped before the demise of Boz and the loss of Ian Wallace so, Mr Smith, your narrative has a 10 year catch up please.

Sid Smith has done an excellent job with this book. From the supplier I chose (via Amazon) my copy was about ten years old, but was in 'time capsule' condition and looked like it was printed last week! As you can tell by this and other reviews, the title is long since out of print and an update would be appreciated. I corresponded with Smith as regards this matter a few years ago (mid noughties) and as I recall he was at the time trying to retrieve the rights to his book from the original publisher. As of 2014 I have not seen a new edition though and that's why I took the plunge with the original here. If I've one criticism it's over the photographs. These are just printed in the 'normal' ink on the text pages (not glossy). They are often of poor quality and a bit 'grainy', but this may of course be because of the source material and not the printing methods of the book. However, the insights into the band more than make up for this!
