“The man is a one-off, an iconic figure whose passion for words, music and for his city is utterly infectious,” said Simon Taylor, editorial director of Transworld, in a statement today.

McCulloch is the latest figure from the Crucial Three, the short-lived band formed in 1977, to publish his memoirs.

In 1994, Julian Cope, former singer with the infamous Liverpool post-punk band, The Teardrop Explodes, published the first volume of his autobiography, “Head On”, followed by “Repossessed” in 1999.
