There is news finally of a reprint of Pegasus Epitaph at Amazon, due out in April. We can only hope.
In the mean time (and forever!) Michael is offering the final word WITH his eBook edition called Pegasus Continuum (until he chooses to add some more stories which he said could be from time to time)...therefore, the continuum
Michael kindly said I could post his words concerning the reprint vs. his eBook/iBook, which Michael released late last year. His reasoning being that his ebook will be available FOREVER for fans to access, long after Helter Skelter choses to end the run. We're still not sure if this newest teaser will be withdrawn again anyway.
It is worth noting that the 2012 reprint is without any photos at all, and no new edits or changes. The eBook has many photos, some that weren't in the first printing and many additions to the text (and my cover design if you're interested).
(By the way, as long as we have the chance, we should all try to get out to see Love Revisited perform. Michael said they plan to perform every couple of months for the foreseeable future. And Michael will guest drum as long as his ride is willing to make the trip!)

Michael Stuart-Ware:
I guess Helter finally got it together to make the paperback available here in the states on amazon, ( but it's the same book. I haven't changed or edited it at all since 2012.) I see it's still "expected" to be available in April, so we'll see.
In the meantime I'm really glad I got the ebook version out there, because, 1) I added a few more entertaining stories, 2) I corrected some mistakes that were in the paperback version (like sometimes they used the proper English spelling and sometimes the American version of the exact same words, because they just missed a word here and there, like for instance the fifth word on the very first page of the prologue, which should have been spelled "colour," but there were a bunch of others as well,) 3) the cover is a better cover, and, 4) I can make changes in the text or pictures anytime I want, and 5) and finally, like it or not, ebooks are the coming format for book reading.
When the last paperback has gone out of print, the ebook version of Pegasus will still be available to anybody who is interested.
I went down to L.A. on Feb 6 for the Love Revisited gig and sat in with The Loons as well. Seems like they play every couple of months or so, so I guess I'll keep going as long as my buddy feels like driving.
My best,
Michael
Record Collector review-The Lovely Bones
Few, if any, 60s bands have maintained sufficient mysterioso allure down the years to rival the cloak of inscrutability obscuring Arthur Lee and his California castle cohorts. We have Lee himself, maddening and mercurial, to credit for that: but while the Love main man was ever the cool contrarian, drummer Michael Stuart-Ware is patently not one for mythologising. Pegasus Epitaph, an update of Stuart- Ware’s legend-refuting 2003 monograph, is a laudably unsentimental memoir – raw-boned and matter-of-fact, yet written with finesse, clarity and an entirely fitting You-Set-The-Scene eye for period detail. And you still find yourself, at the end of it, seriously jonesing for some Love.
