Cheap Trick’s long out-of-print biography Reputation Is a Fragile Thing: The Story of Cheap Trick is set to be reissued. Only a thousand copies were originally available. Published in 1998 by authors Mike Hayes and Ken Sharp, Reputation Is a Fragile Thing, is comprised of interviews the authors conducted with the band over the years, as well as additional material from secondary sources. The book also features more than 175 rare photographs, plus a foreword written by Roy Wood of the Move, forming a comprehensive chronicle of the band’s work from 1973 through 1997. “The initial idea for the book started to coalesce in the mid-80s. At first it was purely for my own interest,” Hayes tells Ultimate Classic Rock. “I compiled random notes from a variety of sources as I tried to make sense of the band’s history and origins. I drew on a lot of previously published material, as acknowledged in the final text, but over subsequent years also conducted several face-to-face and telephone interviews with various members of the band and its earlier incarnations and associates, past and present.” Reputation Is a Fragile Thing: The Story of Cheap Trick is available for pre-order now.
