IKEDA, Mitch. Forever Delayed. Photographs of the Manic Street Preachers.

(London): Vision On Publishing, 2002. First edition. Folio. Unpaginated. Foreword by Jon Savage. Presented over 230 pages, this is the official pictorial memento of a decade of the Manic Street Preachers, as seen through the lens of photographer Mitch Ikeda who met the band on their first Japanese tour and has worked with them ever since. A gripping, comprehensive and fully authorised portrait of the Manics containing immortal shots, both before and after Richey Edwards, that brilliantly capture moments live, backstage and elsewhere. A near fine copy in large format wrappers with integral flaps.
