After The Lights Go Out: A Biography of The Phantom Chords

I didn’t even know there was a book on the Phantom Chords. I was really excited to buy it.I appreciate the work the writer put in on this.Great research. Excellent job!I am a BIG “Damned” fan, and a HUGE “Vanian” fan so it was really neat to read about Dave’s venture.

Great account of the band’s history. I thoroughly enjoyed it, start to finish!

Gathered within this slim morsel is all the news that's fit to print regarding that ever elusive light that burned too bright, The Phantom Chords. Stalwart uber fan Barry Hutchinson does us all a favor with this decidedly exhaustive tome, in capturing the genesis, ins and outs, and seemingly anti-climactic end to the Dave Vanian-led side project that could've been much more. Also Roman Jugg.

A terrific read for all fans of the mighty Phantom Chords. I find myself re-reading this over and over - it brings back many happy memories of concerts attended many years ago. If only the un-released / unfinished albums could find the light of day!

really enjoyed this, Barry is clearly long time fan, has been doing fine website for years, made me dig out youtube version of unreleased album and add to other one to make great tape for driving. Well written and researched, shame DV as elusive as ever, very chatty on Radio 2 today.... great band, great book

Great book if you are a Phantom chords fan or a Damned fan or both like meyou will enjoy this book.Shame Dave didn't contribute but that is him allover!

Great read. Ties all the loose ends up. Use to have a good chat with Brendon in Andy's guitar workshop Shame the 1st never got a release. Come on Dave get it released .

There's not much to read in this book as there are not many pages and it is a tad boring. Overpriced for what it is. Disappointed.
