*These books come with a 'signed' art bookplate. Please note that the signature is printed, not handwritten, created shortly before Clem passed away. The artwork is by renowned American artist Shepard Fairey, so it's very special. Shepard granted a license to use the imagery on these bookplates for a very limited basis. So it's a super-limited edition and super collectable if you are a music fan.
 
The Other Side of the Dream: Explosive, intimate, unforgettable – the highly anticipated story of Blondie’s drummer and the punk scene that changed music forever, a must-read for 2026, by Clem Burke (Author), Fred Armisen (Foreword)  Format: Hardcover
 
'Clem was not just a drummer; he was the heartbeat of Blondie.' – Debbie Harry
 
For anyone who loves music this is a backstage pass to a life lived fully as one of rock's greatest heroes.
 
In The Other Side of the Dream, Clem Burke reflects on his extraordinary journey from the gritty streets of New York City to global superstardom. With candour and wit, he recounts the explosive punk scene that gave rise to Blondie, the creative partnerships that defined their music and the challenges of navigating fame in a constantly evolving industry.
 
Clem began writing his memoir more than 20 years ago, often setting it aside amid relentless touring and recording schedules. When cancer treatment and illness forced his retirement, completing the book became a priority, which he did shortly before he died.
 
This is Clem's story, in his own words.
 
'His talent, energy, and passion for music were unmatched, and his contributions to our sound and success are immeasurable. Beyond his musicianship, Clem was a source of inspiration both on and off the stage. His vibrant spirit, infectious enthusiasm and rock-solid work ethic touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.' – Debbie Harry and Chris Stein.
