thijs Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Posted October 24, 2003 aargh, i actually have that one :mrgreen: Quote
mi:t Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 pity is that most of those books are written some years ago and are by now kinda aged which doesn't of course lessen their value. so anybody care to write something? :wink: and does anybody know what's that signed photograph that came with the 'all crew muss big up'? Quote
thijs Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Posted October 24, 2003 heu.. i got that book, but no signed photo though Quote
haste Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 i'd be happy to write some comments on the history of the music for the new site if you wanted me to the problem with all these things is that my views will be different from other people's ones. still it might be a useful thing to have on the site Quote
thijs Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Posted October 24, 2003 Title: State of Bass: Jungle - the Story So FarAuthor: Martin James if anyone finds a place where that is still available, please let me know. Quote

mi:t Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 there's a new book from Brian-Belle Fortune - 'all crews'. is there something new added or just the re-release of 'all crew muss big up' ? Quote
Phokus Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 there's a new book from Brian-Belle Fortune - 'all crews'. is there something new added or just the re-release of 'all crew muss big up' ? it's a new edition of all crew - largely the same as the first one, with an update added on. Quote
thijs Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Posted January 8, 2005 is there anyone who has seen both? as in... is the new one worth getting when one has the older 'version'? Quote
Sicknote Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 new one has the old chapters in, plus the addition of a few hundred more pages got it in .doc .pdf and brought the book too Quote
Christopher Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 All Crews has (as you all know) been republished, and has new sections written by Belle-Fortune... And it's DEFINITELY worth getting. Knowledge sell it through their site, I'm sure it's available otherplaces... Everyone should have a copy of the new edition, even if they have the old one already.
