A beautiful book detailing the history of The Legendary Pink Dots, the much-adored band headed by Edward Ka-Spel, well-known for combining melody and mood in beautiful, haunting songs and soundscapes. Its 148 pages document the band's first decade in all its despair and glory (they formed in London, August 1980).

Based on their extensive discography, it combines facts and confabulation from various members of the Legendary Pink Dots and close associates. With unique images and an exclusive CD featuring Dots-songs from the 1980's (including two previously unreleased ones!) selected by band members, "Close Your Eyes, You Can Be A Space Captain" is an incentive to sing while you may!

First Edition. Hard cover, 17x24cm. Comes with a free bookmark.
