ADVENTURES OF A WATERBOY

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original black boards with orange titles to the spine, in the photo-illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated with photographs in black and white. A very near fine copy, the binding square and tight, the contents clean throughout. Complete with the very lightly creased dustwrapper that is a touch faded at the spine and otherwise without loss or tears.

Signed by Mike Scott in black ink on the title page. As a teenager in Scotland, Mike Scott played in punk and garage bands, hitchhiked to see Bob Dylan play, and scammed his way into Patti Smith's inner circle during an eye-opening weekend in London. In 1983 he formed The Waterboys with an ever-rotating cast of collaborators including The Fellow Who Fiddles (Steve Wickham) and The Human Saxophone (Anthony Thistlethwaite) and soon found international success with the 'big music' sound of songs like 'Don't Bang The Drum' and 'The Whole Of The Moon'. The true first edition of Mike Scott's highly entertaining autobiography. The UK edition, published by Jawbone Press followed a couple of months later.
