ednaplate Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I messaged Geddy Lee about the book on his Instagram account and within an hour or so got a message back from the man himself. Gobsmacked to say the least. I’ll definitely be ordering a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I thought the recent deluxe box set of Sgt P was expensive. I got it for Christmas last year and when I looked up the price I felt embarrassed because I seldom spend that much on gifts for the nearest and dearest as a whole let alone on any individual. I am such a tight git. It's a good thing I only like Rush in passing else my loved ones would go bankrupt this Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Oh dear... rather puzzled by this shameless money-grab. Not normally Geddy's style. I quite fancy getting hold of the entry-level book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geddy-Lees-Beautiful-Book-Bass-ebook/dp/B07GDMJH3K/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1538761240&sr=1-1&keywords=geddy+lee+bass £20 Kindle - bit pointless £50 hardcover - I'm in! Hope he doesn't rag on the Rick as he's tended too. I loved his late '70s/early '80s bass sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 When I placed my order for this on Amazon back in February, I bagged it for £18.59. Weeeeee! Go me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Nancy, I got my pre-order for the same price as your one - result!! Edited October 5, 2018 by kevin_lindsay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Glad I got my order in on 28th Feb. It was £21 something when I ordered it, but has now dropped to £18.59 too. Currently listed at £50 - which would make me think twice if ordering today 🤤 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a no brainer for me after money went missing with the old bank and they more or less said it was my own fault. The culprit was never identified. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Aside from one issue where I got charged £999.00 for a Dominos pizza (sorted inside 24 hours, free pizza followed), I had money go twice on Paypal, yonks ago, but got it back on both times. I think the irritation was the not knowing how it happened and how easily it did considering how much account security is supposed to be in place.

Yes there was that. What really bothered me was that the bank at the time (Halifax) passed the enquiry over to the IT people who said that the money had gone to a porn account somewhere. They had found no evidence of a hack. They then had the gall to suggest that I had made the transaction and that I was shy of admitting it. I asked them to put that in writing because I had never done anything of the sort. They came back with the news that they aren't governed by any of the rules that govern banks anyway. In other words - Good luck with that! I was unhappy with the bank for other reasons so that was the nudge I needed to change. My current bank has locked out all Internet access to my accounts at my request. If I want anything off the Internet now I pay a friend to get it for me. Usually I try and keep my business local to support what's left of the local economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
