Colin Hart’s book due in September
Colin Hart’s book of memoirs A Hart Life is due to be published by Wymer on September 26, 2011. The book first saw the light of day in Japan a couple of years ago, and now will be finally available in English. This edition is co-authored by Dick Allix with forewords by Roger Glover and Paul Mann.
ISBN: 978-0-9557542-7-2 (Deluxe slipcase with bonus book)*
ISBN: 978-0-9557542-8-9 (hardback)
*) Bonus book: Hart’s Life 1971-2001, 80 pages of photos and memorabilia from Colin’s collection including reproduction of tour itineraries, faxes, letters and more.
Colin Hart has spent over 30 years working for Deep Purple and Rainbow, retiring in 2001 as their tour manager. He has stories to tell.
Thanks to Daniel Bengtsson for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Very interesting
I would like to read his stories, it would be a good update for Deep Purple knowledge
May 28th, 2011 at 15:02Colin was a kind of a member of these groups. A great person I did work with when I was working with ET Concerts in Denmark, who did Puple and Rainbow in Scandinavia and most parts of Europe. I look forward to read his book, and wish I will meet him again one day.
May 28th, 2011 at 16:49Colin I hope you are well!!!
– you gotta love it!
May 28th, 2011 at 17:26“Deluxe Slipcase with bonus book”!!!
LOL. Now they’re doing it with books….
Think I’ll wait for the remastered edition with previously unreleased chapters and rewrites….
I am actually looking forward to this book but I’ll be buying the basic paperback or waiting for an iPad version.

May 31st, 2011 at 16:13Definately read this one!
My friend Graham Wright, brought out a book called’How Black was our Sabbath?’ about the time he spent working for the band (It was to be called ‘How Slack was our Haddock?’ – ‘Slack Haddock’ being the Crew’s name for Ozzy & Co).
My time associated with the guys was included in one of the three chapters that the Publishers threw out – what do they know???
May 31st, 2011 at 22:00I’ll buy the personally autographed deluxe edition with great pleasure and anticipation. Then make myself comfy on the chaise with a bottle of chilled Chablis, and take a trip with you Colin. Can’t wait 🙂
June 1st, 2011 at 09:36Taking a chance on a feeling is like waiting for a flower to grow.
June 4th, 2011 at 12:37@13 What is chablis, is like wine maybe ?. And you chill for what reason.
