n.p., 1990. Very good. 3 pages of manuscript lyrics written in Idol's hand with pencil on lined and ruled yellow paper, 8.25" x11". Some stains (blood?), smudges, vertical and horizontal fold lines, else very good. No corrections, but there are a number of differences between this manuscript and the final studio version, i.e. the first stanza, order and many other examples—certainly an early working draft. Beautiful custom morocco chemise slip case. Ex-Julien's, donated by Idol for a charity auction. "Trouble with the Sweet Stuff" appeared on Idol's critically acclaimed fourth studio album Charmed Life.

"I was just a baby boy when they told me, God love me, that's enough".

Ex-E. S. Litchfield. The NY edition of The Sketch Book was published serially in 7 parts in paper wrappers, the London edition in 2 volumes in boards and labels. The NY edition's part IV (Nov. 19, 1819) preceded vol. I of the London edition with parts I-IV (Feb. 16, 1820), but vol. II of the London with parts V-VII (Jul. 20, 1820) preceded the NY's… Read More
