Stay Fanatic

Fanatic! Here we are with the second volume of Stay Fanatic!!! Thank you so much for checking it out. Work on this book started at the same time as the previous volume. The writing ends up being the easiest part. It's the transcribing, editing, gathering of source materials and scanning them that seems like it's never going to end. The "stay at home" order that was implemented in early 2020 allowed me to work on this book at all hours, which had me putting in some interesting shifts. The 2200 hrs-0430 hrs. scanning marathons kept things strange. A lot of travel in this volume, Fanatic! I hope you enjoy multi-continental crawl. I tried to put in as many images as I could, thus making it quite challenging for Dave, our layout boss. At some odd hour, having cleared the 400+ scan mark, I realized that he was going to have quite a time.

Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 4 takes in the year of 2018. This time around, the book, written in the USA, Germany, Holland, Belgium, England, Scotland, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Russia, Ukraine, and Iceland ended up with over 700 images and a punishing 165000 word count. Warning: this volume features reportage on rare records, flyers, test pressings, acetates, set lists, record stores, coffee shops and cramped backstage areas.
