Colin Sharp's long-awaited book about Martin Hannett is now available for pre-order through Amazon and will be published on 25 May 2007.

From the synopsis: "Hannett shaped and delivered the sound that propelled the whole movement to prominence and still can be clearly heard in the records of Interpol, Snow Patrol, the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, Oasis. Yet, despite the extraordinary influence his production work and personality had on the seminal bands of the time little is really known about the complex man behind the myth."
