Really impressed by 2020's Elemental album. More mainstream but no less passionate and magical.

I disapprove of violence as a rule but it was gratifying to see the twerp who threw beer over Pauline getting the thrashing he deserved

Has anyone read this yet? Life's a Gamble: Penetration, The Invisible Girls and Other Storiesless than 200 pages and £20, just not good enough value for me I'm afraid. Maybe one day the kindle will be dirt cheap. I'm sure these prices are self defeating unless they go for very short print runs they know will sell out.

As much as I like the band's early output, I can't think she'd have much to say that would enthrall me, she's no Siouxsie, Poly or even an Ari.
As Doug says £20 is very steep. Probably only for friends and family.

Yeah, it is very expensive but I may yet take a chance
Always had a lot of time for her - and was one of that select band of Invisible Girls fans

she's no Siouxsie, Poly or even an Ari. She was a few months behind them but she can still hold her own IMO.

I've listened to the Word In You Ear podcast Very enjoyable She's very unassuming and down to earth, and it makes me sure that her book is well worth a read despite the high price

I see this one supposedly has a hardcover although most have the more semi rigid covers now days, surely they must be marking up about 400% at least, I doubt Pauline gets more than a 15% royalty as it's not self published so Omnibus Press must make a tidy profit from all these they put out.
