FOREWORD BY ALAN WARNER

'A book that sets new standards for rock biography' Guardian

Reissued as part of White Rabbit's Deep Cuts series, On Some Faraway Beach is the first and only ever comprehensive and authoritative biography of Brian Eno, featuring interviews with many of his key collaborators over the years: from Bryan Ferry to David Byrne and Robert Wyatt. First published in 2008, it has been fully revised and updated to cover Eno's life and creative output since, with brand new material and a new introduction by Alan Warner.

'This exceptionally well-written biography duly celebrated [Eno's] great achievements with Roxy, Bowie, Talking Heads and his own solo work in compelling detail' Uncut

'[An] honourable, authorised attempt to do justice to a mind-bogglingly restless and prolific subject' Sunday Times

Industry Reviews

[A] meticulously researched biography... an engaging read - INDEPENDENT

ON SOME FARAWAY BEACH provides an extensive introduction to a lifetime of constructive, and very English, pottering - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

[An] honourable, authorised attempt to do justice to a mind-bogglingly restless and prolific subject - SUNDAY TIMES

An accomplished and sprawling biography - BIG ISSUE

Sheppard has corralled the many strands of Eno's hectic creative life into a coherent and highly readable account. ON SOME FARAWAY BEACH will take some beating as a chronicle of one of popular music's few truly original practitioners - TOTAL MUSIC MAGAZINE
