No, it was a book set outside the normal Elric saga, and contained the title
story
(more of a novella, really), "The Last Enchantment", (another Elric story),
both set
at different times in Elric's career.  It also contained some of MM's early work
(I mean like when he was 15), Sojan Shieldbearer, very pulp...

Elric twice met other incarnations (in EatEoT, though in Jerry's universe
they didn't
meet), once in Sailor on the Seas of Fate, when he, Corum, Erekose, and Hawkmoon
united to defeat some alien sorcerers, and later in The Vanishing Tower, he,
Erekose,
and Corum (this was earlier for Corum, later for Elric) worked to take over
a tower...

On Live Chronicles, there are several poems/songs that were written by him, and
it's him on many of them doing the pieces.  "Narration", "Dragon Song",
"Dead God's
Homecoming", some others to.  He did stuff with them earlier on Warrior at
the Edge
of Time, with "The Wizard Blew His Nose" (um, "Horn", sorry), several other
pieces
that were more poetry with (IMHO) repetetive music in the background.  He
co-wrote
"Kings of Speed", which I like a lot, and is a song, not poetry...   He
collaborated with
them on two prior albums, though another post already sent should cover
those since
I can't recall which...
