Today, we are unveiling an exclusive 24-page sampler of Artist Pass, offering readers a rare preview of one of the most ambitious books ever assembled about rock and roll’s creative legacy. Drawn from the publisher’s archives spanning half a century, the volume is a curated exchange of voices from musicians, producers, writers and photographers whose work collectively maps the evolution of modern music.
Created to celebrate 50 years of Genesis Publications, Artist Pass distils six decades of interviews, manuscripts and previously unpublished material into a newly edited collection of essays. The sampler provides a glimpse into this expansive dialogue, showcasing the tone, design and breadth of the finished edition while revealing the depth of archival material unearthed for the project.
Each copy of Artist Pass is signed by at least four contributors who have played a part in Genesis’s history, turning every edition into a unique multi-signature collectable. Signatories include a cross-section of rock royalty, acclaimed photographers and cultural figures such as: Eric Clapton, Phil Collen, John Densmore, Henry Diltz, Shepard Fairey, Mick Fleetwood, Olivia Harrison, Chrissie Hynde, Eric Idle, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, Steve Jordan, Russ Kunkel, Mike McCartney, Timothy B. Schmit, Ringo Starr, Dominique Tarlé, Paul Weller and Bill Wyman. Together, they represent bands and movements ranging from The Beatles, The Doors and The Rolling Stones to The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac and the wider constellation of artists who shaped popular music.
With fewer than 50 copies of the edition now remaining, Artist Pass is approaching full subscription, marking this preview as one of the last opportunities to discover the book before it disappears into private collections. Now shipping worldwide, order your copy today at ArtistPassBook.com.
