Hi guys,
I can understand your criticism. No hard feelings. Some people judge me for teaming up with Terry. Yes, it's a bit unlikely perhaps, but here we are! He is very keen on the project, just as I am. The point is, and I keep repeating this, no one ever make the effort to really find out things. Take for instance Frank's builders. I was puzzled by this lot, travelled up and down to Sussex, wrote tons of e-mails, sent around lots of pics, called numerous retired coppers until I finally had them all identified. Know what? One of them is a really nice guy, still alive, who was very fond of Brian. Now, did you ever read that in any book? That search alone took me from 2006 until 2011. What nutter would invest 5 years of his live in finding out about a crew of builders? Well, I did. And I used the same approach regarding the other issues.That's what the book is about: details and details. But there will always be people saying, after reading it: is this all? And I will answer: yes, this is all...

Would love to see the bottom of this case in our lifetime. That 'death by misadventure' verdict never rang true to me. Do believe Brian pissed off the wrong crowd be it for drug money or other matters. Thanks for the research. Know what it's like to interview the police in major cities...and how tough it is when they decide not to be cooperative.
Does anybody know what one of Brian's sisters died of when they were children?

look forward to reading it. Been a lot of sensationalistic crap about him.
I know he had problems,but he helped establish not just the band obviously,
but the style and substance,the bedrock of one of the greatest catalog of songs and recordings ever. Plus, they could kick ass with that line up live.

No updates on the FB page about it's release. Anyone hear anything?

I am intrigued by this last-minute legal dispute that is delaying release of the book--could it prevent the book from being released altogether?
Obviously, Mr. Spendel cannot himself reveal any details while the matter is still ongoing, so we are left to wait and wonder.
It can only have to do with the first publication of the never before seen documents that the author alluded to earlier in above posts, like the "unseen police files", etc. Perhaps Mr. Spendel (and Mr. Rawlings) have come even closer to refuting the "death by misadventure" verdict than even Trevor Hobley did.
In any event, the longer this "legal dispute" drags on--as well as the silence that shrouds the matter--the more intriguing it becomes. Perhaps for a second printing or paperback edition the authors will include a special Afterword to shed some light on why the release of the book has been delayed--what person or persons have initiated the dispute and why. This could illuminate "The Final Truth" even further, reinforcing the investigative work the authors have done.

Or could be as simple as using a picture(s) without permission. Paul has not posted since July 22, so not sure why he stopped! I was hoping he would answer a couple of questions I posted. Hope he returns...

At last, it appears the dispute that held up publication for several days has been resolved:
Don't want to tempt fate but, barring anymore technical difficulties, the Kindle version will be published early next week - we will post the Amazon link on this page

Intriguing was another message that was posted there today:
We ascertained and describe in the book that the ambulance did leave Cotchford farm with a casualty in it, but that wasn't the person the ambulance was called for in the first place. One of the many strange things we researched.
Does this mean that two people died at Cotchford Farm that night?....
yes, t'would be in bad taste.Quote

Just so long as they don't have to change the title to Brian Jones: The Final Tweak.
