From Station to Station is the untold story of three years writing, recording, performing, living and travelling with David Bowie. Friends since childhood, Geoff MacCormack joined Bowie's band as a backing singer following the release of Ziggy Stardust. He stayed by his side through six albums, five tours, one film and numerous adventures. Illustrated with personal and previously unpublished photographs, this limited edition book offers a rare glimpse into life with music's greatest chameleon. David Bowie has signed a facsimile reproduction of an original 'While You Were Out' memo collected from the time he spent on the road, the sea and on the rail with school friend and companion Geoff MacCormack from 1973-76. The hand-signed bookplate is pasted onto the inside front cover. Each book is beautifully printed onto heavyweight art paper and bound by hand. Presented in a valise-style case which opens completely flat, refolds and magnetically fastens snugly around it, the book is finished with the title foil blocked in gold on the spine, and with gold page edging.
This is No. 1,566 of 1,650 collector’s edition copies, each individually numbered and signed by both Geoff MacCormack and David Bowie, who also provides the foreword. The book comes sealed in the original mailing box. The condition is mint. Please note that the image is for illustration purposes only.
