That Lucky Old Sun
Brian Wilson
That Lucky Old Sun was first performed at the Royal Festival Hall, London, in 2007. A year later it was developed in the studio. 'I wanted to put together a concept album,' Brian explains; and the result was hailed as a 'masterpiece' by The Times. This latest incarnation takes inspiration from Brian's original theme: a celebration of his life set against a moving tribute to his home state.
Sir Peter Blake
Britain's pioneer of 'Pop Art', Peter is an elected member of the Royal Academy, an associate artist of The National Gallery and, in 2003, more than 40 years after his first solo exhibition, was knighted by Her Majesty The Queen. He has often said his figurative painting is the core of his work, the trunk of a tree whose branches include excursions into Pop Art, collage and printmaking.
---
Presented as limited edition book of only 1,000 numbered sets, That Lucky Old Sun is personally signed by both artists, Brian Wilson and Peter Blake.
The numbered book, hand-signed by Brian and Peter, includes illustrated new interviews with Brian and an essay by noted author Harvey Kubernik. Brian speaks at length about his life and work today, reflecting on his compositions and inspirations. The 12 new artworks are published as individual plates with a preface by Peter who describes the work in his own words.
The collection is safely preserved within a hand-crafted box, made in Italy and bound in two cloths - colours of which represent the hues of the Californian sky. The box is decoratively blocked in silver and gold foils with a portrait of Brian inset on the inside cover.
The edition would not be complete without one of the first CD pressings of the album, a copy of which is included in every boxed set. Also included is an original laminate VIP pass, saved from the first live performances of That Lucky Old Sun. It is attached by a ribbon, as a bookmark.
In design and finish That Lucky Old Sun is personally overseen and, as such, reflects the same spirit of invention for which Peter Blake and Brian Wilson are renowned.
