Brian Wilson fans can look forward to a rare collectors item, if they have the bucks. Genesis Publications will release `That Lucky Old Sun`, a limited edition book and print set.
Only 1,000 copies of ‘That Lucky Old Sun’ will be released worldwide.The price will be around $US2000.
The book will include 12 original prints by Sir Peter Blake. ‘This artwork is about Brian looking at somewhere like Venice Beach, for instance. It’s Brian’s California, which I’m very happy to make visual,’ Sir Peter said.
The book will be signed by Brian Wilson and Sir Peter. It deals with the inspirations of Brian’s recent album. ‘It’s a spiritual record,’ Brian writes, ‘it’s about trying to make the best of your life.’ The book also includes an historical essay and brand new extensive interviews with Brian by noted music journalist and author Harvey Kubernik, in which Brian speaks in detail about his life and work.
The book comes with a CD pressing of the album, an original laminate from a live gig and Brian’s hand-written sheet music.
The book will be shipped in August.
