Norman said: 

“I can’t believe this book is finally here. When I saw a copy for the first time last week, I didn’t want to let it go.

“It reminded me of the first LP I ever owned (Black and Blue by The Rolling Stones), I slept with it under my pillow back then, and I almost did the same with this book.

“This year I’ll have been in showbiz for 40 years, and to celebrate, we’ve put together a huge book packed with everything I’ve collected over the years: from my early days before The Housemartins, through Beats International and Freakpower, to Fatboy Slim.

“It’s all here, the keepsakes, the memories, and the stories behind them, in one big, beautiful volume.”
