My merry band of reviewers at A Nickel And A Nail have this one under scrutiny. There will be a full review to come in due course. Incidentally it is also currently in stock at the store... https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/in-the-midnight-hour-the-life-soul-of-wilson-pickett-tony-fletcher

The band signed this when I tracked them down and as a thanks for including them in "Its Better To Cry".

I have this, Brian Mann, who wrote the Novas Nine "Why listen / Pain", with a mesage to a fan / girlfriend, on a super tough local Heritage label BTW (and a slightly different version to the ABC one).

There is a yellow demo also

As well as being a platform for sales, we invite reviews of new books, chapter abstracts and author-written summaries of their work which all help support and promote their work. Cheers, Mark.

Would agree with all the choices above regards quality, can recommend them all and most of them have have been best sellers at A Nickel And A Nail. Quality material out in 2016 indeed. It doesn't stop there either, and I've got some more in the offing for 2017, including something up my own sleeve... Mark.
