Phil Manzanera’s website has a notice of a 4 pm Wednesday announcement. Speculation mounts.

It's possible that Amazon may have stolen his thunder, as they're taking pre-orders for the English translation (originally in Spanish, I believe) of his memoirs:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/178 ... 1OLE&psc=1

While that link appears to be for a hardback edition, I have subsequently discovered a paperback version (£10 cheaper) being advertised online by Waterstones, Hatchards & Foyles...

It'll be a fascinating read, for sure. Phil's anecdotes are always so enlightening, engaging and erudite. Hopefully there'll be some signings...

He's got an artist shop on Reverb.com where he is selling some of his gear, mainly amps and studio equipment although there are a few guitars as well.
Phil's Facebook page is always worth a look - the interview with Analog Planet is worth reading.
As regards his memoirs I hope he gives a bit of insight into what he was planning to do with Godley and Creme before Roxy reformed.

I have read the nook in the spanish version. I love the book. It is amazing! I have enjoyed it very much.Phil Manzanera is a great guy and in this autobiographical book he shares a lot of experiences and anecdotes from his amazing and extensive life in a wonderful musical journey from his childhood to the glorious times of Roxy ,and the collaborations with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
He shares with us a lot of things of a lifetime with Roxy .It is a true gift for all of us.
I read it in one sitting and with a permanent smile on my face.
Thank you Phil !!! :

Looks good, but at £90 inc. postage I will have to give it a miss.
