- "Bound in bright yellow leather with red leather spine and title in blue leather inlays. In slipcase of blue leather boards and title in red leather inlays. Simon Redington: 'I started with the idea of a book on jazz or blues using phonetic phrasings of scat or blues verse ... however it somewhere transformed into a homage to the rock'n'roll icon Gene Vincent, lacing his song 'Be Bop a Lula' around shapes and colours that have autobiographical resonances with my own childhood holidays on and around Brighton Pier.' Be-Bop-a-Lula is a rockabilly song first recorded in 1956 by Gene Vicncent and his Blue Caps."--Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers website (accessed April 27, 2015).
