Smith Gryphon.
Published 1993.
Hardback & paperback.
This is Ian Gillan's original biography, written in collaboration with Dave
Cohen. It first appeared in a hardback in 1993. A few years later a
new edition appeared with some corrections. It's not a bad read, but
really needed someone to question Ian at greater length to bring out
more detail. As it is, it reads very quickly and after a while the
endless drinking stories get very tedious, but fans will be able to
find some actual facts or interest, though don't rely too much on
Ian's dating of certain events!
This is available through the dpas
mail order shop, but may now be out
of print, so once stock has gone that's it.
Ian has talked of work in progress on a full autobiography but we
don't expect this any time soon.
