Title: Question About The Wilson Project Post by: John Malone on July 14, 2011, 08:32:09 AM Hi everyone. Long time reader, but I am a new member, and this is my first post.
I have been in contact with Stephen McParland, author of "The Wilson Project." The Tape 1-10 updated version of the book is now out of print, but he says he can sell me a copy of the original 1991 version. He said the original is missing only the contents of Tape 10. Should I buy it? What would I be missing? I've been wanting to read this for a long time, but I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on the hefty expense of the book.

To be honest, the meat of the whole thing is in the original book - Tape 10 is more of an addendum than a sequel.

But, I did manage to secure Mr. McParland's last copy of the Tapes 1-9 version. So, it's on its way. Going by AGD's list of essential BB reads, I look forward to reading this.

BTW....what exactly is included in Tape 10? I've been wondering that myself! Title: Re: Question About The Wilson Project Post by: Andrew G. Doe on July 24, 2011, 02:06:23 AM It's basically a scrapbook consisting of info from a 10th Usher tape (dating August-December 1987), an unpublished Usher interview from late 1986/early 1987 and a whole mess of lawyers letters, lyrics, post-it notes, studio cost sheets, studio track logs, some nice 1986 photos and some court documents. To someone like me, manna: to the less committed, ephemera.
