Adventures in Modern Recording: From ABC to ZTT by Trevor Horn - Signed Edition
Hand Signed by Trevor Horn to the Publisher's Bookplate
Hardback Edition
Published 13th October 2022
As a renowned recording-studio maven, Trevor Horn has been dubbed 'the man who invented the '80s'.
His production work since the glory days of ZTT represents a veritable 'who's who' of intelligent modern pop, including the likes of ABC, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Pet Shop Boys, Seal, Simple Minds, Grace Jones and Mike Oldfield - among many others.
This book is Trevor's story in his own words, as told through the prism of twentythree of his most important songs - from the ones that inspired him to the ones that defined him. This play-by-play memoir transports readers into the heart of the studio to witness the making of some of music's most memorable moments, from the Buggles' ground-breaking 'Video Killed the Radio Star' to Band Aid's perennial 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', via hits such as 'Relax', 'Poison Arrow ', 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' and 'Crazy'.
Offering unrivalled access to the dark arts of the producer's world and the even darker arts of the music business itself, prepare for some adventures in modern recording...

Discounts, Best Offers, or Markdowns Tips:-
Discounts (%) deducted at checkout are not valid if Best Offer is used.
If you benefit more from the discount amount, just Buy It Now instead of making an offer and the Discount will be deducted at checkout.
Best offers are available on some items. Please offer reasonable offers, as very low offers will be rejected.
Markdowns will show the previous price and the new marked down offer price.
Some markdowns may have Best Offer on the listing. It is unlikely that a Best Offer will be considered if the item is already Marked Down.
Combined Postage.
We are happy to combine postage costs on most multiple buys.
This has already been set up automatically on our listings where we usually stock more than one of that particular item. Just add the items to your basket and checkout and the postage discount will be applied.
For one off listings, buyers may request a total BEFORE paying. You may want to look up the process to do this on Ebay.
We do not combine postage costs once items are paid for but we reserve the right to send out multiple orders to the same address in the same parcel.
Ebay (not Pillar Box Gifts) does not allow combined postage on items that are already discounted and you may find that the request total button is greyed out and inactive. This is an automatic Ebay system setting and not our choice.
If you are unsure about anything, please ask before buying and/or paying.
Brexit and how it may affect you as an International buyer.
As of 01/01/21, the UK left the European Union and so therefore international buyers will be responsible for any sales tax that will be applicable in their country.
This tax may be payable before your country's postal/customs system will release your item to you.
We, Pillar Box Gifts Ltd, are not in any way, responsible for delays, charges, or costs to you the buyer, either for collection of any taxes or your collection of held items.
This is the buyers' responsibility and you should investigate your own country's rules/laws regarding these new regulations.
Customs Declarations.
Please do not ask for us to fill in a lower value than the actual purchase value on any documentation.
Firstly, this is an illegal act, and both buyer and seller can be fined, and second, it is against Ebay policy.
There are no exceptions to this.
