Edwards evermore extreme behaviour culminated in his sad strange disappearance on February 1 1995 & forced the colleagues he left behind to re-examine their very purpose before making a triumphal return with 1997s million selling Everything Must Go. A story of "blood honour & enduring friendship" marked with "tales of boredom alienation & occasional despair " Everlasting contains interviews with those close to the band full album reviews an up to date discography & rare & unseen photos of the b&."
