27 March sees the publication of The Lyrics of Gary Kemp, one of the first in a new series of books from, The Lyric Book Company.

For those of us that remember the ’80’s, Spandau Ballet’s songs and guitarist Gary Kemp’s lyrics, hold a special fondness and this collection entitled The Lyrics of Gary Kemp features all of the works that Gary has published in an illustrious songwriting career that has spanned 4 decades.

All of the lyrics from all of his songs for Spandau Ballet and his solo album Little Bruises make up this anthology of 60 tales of love loss and of course London, including global hits Gold, Through the Barricades, True, Only When You Leave,  I’ll Fly For You, Chant No. 1 to the band’s first hit Cut A Long Story Short.

Lyrics from early ground-breaking dance and funk club-scene in Soho era To Cut A Long Story Short and Chant No. 1, mix with the global smash hit about unrequited love True. This lyrical journey continues with the anthemic rousing modern classic Gold, through the story of lovers battling to keep their relationship alive despite physical borders in Through the Barricades  to the bittersweet An Inexperienced Man.

Gary is widely acknowledged as one of Britain’s finest songwriters, and definitely the lyrical voice of his generation. A beautiful, comprehensive and collectable book for any fan of Gary Kemp or Spandau Ballet.

The concept of The Lyric Book Company is a simple one: a unique book company, specialising solely in producing complete works of the world’s finest songwriters. This is a series of beautifully produced, hardback books that artists and their fans can be proud of. Working closely with the artist, The Lyric Book Company will ensure that each song is correctly presented.

“The design is beautiful, like a modern-day hymn book. Thoughtfully put together, I’m extremely pleased by the way it looks and feels. It’s quite an honour to see all of your own work collected together and presented so beautifully.” Gary Kemp
