Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a battle damaged Japanese Zero landed on a remote, privately owned Hawaiian island. The Zero pilot survived for almost a week on what locals call the Forbidden Island, assisted by a local worker while terrorizing the island's population before being killed by a native Hawaiian.Though the air raid on December 7, 1941 caught many by surprise, the island's owner had actually begun preparations against the attack years earlier, inspired by a remarkably accurate prophecy. The wreckage of the Japanese plane was abandoned on the island, but it's legacy was not forgotten. Sixty five years later the Zero and the story surrounding it became part of a new aviation museum in Hawaii. The Zero display brought to the forefront what happened the day of the attack, the conflict that ensued on the island in the days that followed, while unexpectedly generating a modern controversy in the process.In researching the existence of the Niihau Zero the author was allowed unprecedented access to the Forbidden Island, was able to interview its owners and inhabitants, and arrange for the Zero artifacts to be placed on public display.This book contains original reports as well as documents never before published that give unique perspectives into one of the most curious and thought provoking events of WI.…

Soft cover. Condition: VG. 1st Edition. Entire issue, Volume I, Number 1, March, 1988, in original colorful stiff printed wraps, very light general wear-only, overall a fresh, bright, clean copy. Article is 2 full pages, and includes a Preface by the editors, a full-page excerpt from the Malcolm Jones fanzine, The Making Of The Madcap Laughs, printed in quadruple columns, and two photographs of Syd Barrett. From the Preface, "The following article is an edited version of 'The Making Of The Madcap Laughs', a limited issue fanzine first published in 1982 by Malcolm Jones. Although changing it from first person to third, we've hopefully retained its original flavour as an insight to the mechanics behind the recording of what remains one of the era's most original, if fragile, talents." And from the article's opening paragraph, "In March, 1969, Syd Barrett telephoned EMI's studio booking office to ask if he could go back into the studios and start recording again. It was over a year since he had parted company with PinkFloyd, and thus the request was referred to Malcolm Jones, then the head of the company's progressive outlet, Harvest." Very scarce.…

Soft cover. Condition: VG. 1st Edition. Entire issue, 30pp, printed pictorial red wraps, stapled at spine as issued, very clean, bright copy, inside and out. A complete issue of the fanzine Opel, published by Ivor Trueman, in the U. K., which includes Malcolm Jones' first-hand account of working with Syd Barrett on Barrett's first solo album, The Madcap Laughs, EMI, after Barrett had left the Pink Floyd. Includes set lists, session info and take numbers, plus info on Pink Floyd sessions and gigs. Jones was head of EMI's Harvest label, which would release The Madcap Laughs album in 1970. From the Introduction, "Scarcely a year goes by than the rock press, rather like the Times and the first cuckoo of spring, report a 'sighting' of Syd Barrett, usually in Cambridge or London. Whether these reports are accurate is uncertain, but every since the early seventies the myth surrounding the man seems to have mushroomed. There is a growing army of admirers who would see him as some sort of living legend, even though his total recorded output consists of little more than three albums. Legend or otherwise, I was able, in a modest way, to be able to assist Syd in recording some of his best remembered solo recordings (I produced the first 'Madcap Laughs' sessions amounting to half of the album). This publication is a straight, factual account of the making of the album. As I kept all my studio production notes and files, what follows is an accurate account of events in those few months of 1969." Please note, magazine looks self-published -- and almost certainly was -- and is filled with invaluable information for the serious Syd Barrett fan. Very scarce.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Originally published in 1982; this limited reprinting was sold through the pages of the Barrett fanzine 'Opel', edited by Ivor Trueman. 4to. Stab-stapled. Unpaginated (30pp.). 'Legend or otherwise, I was able, in a modest way, to be able to assist Syd in recording some of his best remembered solo recordings (I produced the first "Madcap Laughs" sessions amounting to half of the album). With the exception of the excellent "Terrapin" publications there has been remarkably little written about Syd, so this is my attempt to remedy this in some small way. This publication is a straight, factual account of the making of the album, "the Madcap Laughs" [sic]. As I kept all my studio production notes and files what follows is an accurate account of events in those few months of 1969.' Mild signs of handling only; the lower of the two staples is in fact two staples.…
