As we count down the final 10 copies of Magic: A Journal of Song, it just so happens that this week is also the 30th anniversary of Stanley Road, Paul Weller’s landmark 1995 solo album.
Though unplanned, the timing feels fitting. Magic offers a rare and intimate insight into Weller’s songwriting, from The Jam and The Style Council to his expansive solo work, including Stanley Road, widely regarded as one of his greatest records.
This edition’s availability is all the more timely given our recent Rare Editions events, where we’ve been unveiling special titles from the Genesis archives. Magic will soon become part of that treasured past.
Hand-signed by Paul Weller and presented in a beautiful boxed set, with only 10 copies remaining, now is the time to add this special edition to your collection. Secure your copy today by clicking here.
Each Collector copy of Magic: A Journal of Song is fully bound in Imitlin, onto which an original, hand-drawn illustration is screen printed. Over 25 references to Paul Weller's lyrics are to be found within this specially commissioned cover artwork. The 360-page book is finished with red and gold foil blocking and gold page edging.
Collector copies also include two 8"x10" (200mm x254mm) lyric prints of one of Weller's favourite songs, 'Aspects', from his 2018 solo album True Meanings. Produced exclusively for the edition, Weller's handwritten lyrics to 'Aspects' are beautifully recreated over two sheets. The second print is numbered, stamped, and both are suitable for framing.
The signed book and print set are contained within a screen-printed and gold-foiled archival case.
Since 1974 Genesis has created signed limited edition books on behalf of authors and artists ranging from the Beatles to Buckingham Palace.
