didn’t Jas do that interview with Eddie back in 1982 whereby Eddie slammed Dave and then threatened Jas not to say a word about it? I wonder if any of that will be included.

Not yet. I’m going to wait until the Noel Monk book is released and order both from Amazon at the same time. I’m really looking forward to reading both though.
