"Hi, I am doing a one man show about Ave B in the early 80's my Roomate Phillipe Bounous at the time knew Alan Vega and his ex girl friend and we made a Video of Whip Out Beat. It was low budget but professionally and edited in a Pro NYC studio. I would like to get a copy of this. I lost contact with Phillipe and I know they were selling copies on ST Marks place 16 years ago.
Please contact me ! My number is 917 803 6955 David Sirk thanks"

Vega's prose and lyrics, with photos taken from his videos

"Fast forward to summer 1993. I'm living in New York working on another album. Alan's book is now a formidable body of work with art, lyrics and prose. We get together on a few weekends to work on edits. By October the work is finally done. I'm sure Alan is happy to have me out of his way. I bet he didn't figure he would have to be dealing with this project for two years!

Now it's finished and it's great. Vega is one of the most powerful artists going. He has been for years. His unrelenting passion and intensity has been a source of inspiration to me for well over a decade. Those who know what I'm talking about really know. I hope that by the end of this that you do too. I am very proud to be partly responsible for bringing this work out. This guy is one of my heroes, flat out." - Henry Rollins 10.27.93 Los Angeles, CA
