Description
THE PEOPLE NOT THE CROWN is the thumping new EP from the Liverpool Legend Ian Prowse. To celebrate its release, we're selling off the Queen’s Royal Assets in an online auction.**
Moving onto one of the more coveted lots in this auction we now start the bidding for Queen Victoria’s Sketchbook. For anyone that doesn’t know, Victoria reigned from 1837 - 1901 and was in fact Great-Great Grandmother to both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip (inbreeding was all the rage back then). As organisers of this auction, we’ve of course had a little peak in this sketchbook and it’s fair to say it does not disappoint. Filled with detailed plans on how to manage the growing dissent from the empire, interspersed with schoolboy-drawn penises and racy nudes of Albert, it’s an arresting, evocative (and sometimes erotic) read. Full of interesting observations on the nature of power, it’s effects on ones self-esteem and even sexual appetite…it makes 50 Shades Of Gray read like The Railway Children.
**Disclaimer** Clearly we’re not actually selling off Her Majesties assets but we will send you a copy of the very limited edition 4-track, 10” EP of protest. Taking two songs from Ian’s days leading Pele (cult 90s band) ‘Raid The Palace’ and ‘The Sport Of Kings’, one song from the acclaimed Here I Lie album ‘All The Royal Houses’ and a brand new track called ‘You Don’t Own Me’ A song specially written and exclusively for Record Store Day. We’ll also be donating all proceeds of this sale to The South Liverpool Foodbank – For the People!
