Ex-Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. \n\n\n'Weaves together rollicking, rousing, wonderfully colourful and\ndisparate narratives to remind us how the energies and aspirations of the\ncounterculture were intertwined with protest and reform ... mesmerising.' The Nation\n\n\nIt was\nthe year that saw the release of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club\nBand, and of debut albums from the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and\nJanis Joplin. The year of the Summer of Love and LSD; the Monterey Pop Festival\nand Black Power; Muhammad Ali's conviction for draft avoidance and Martin\nLuther King Jr's public opposition to war in Vietnam.\n\n\nOn its 50th anniversary, music business veteran\nDanny Goldberg analyses 1967, looking not only at the political influences, but\nalso the spiritual, musical and psychedelic movements that defined the era,\nproviding a unique perspective on how and why its legacy lives on today.\n\n\nExhaustively researched and informed by\ninterviews including Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and Gil Scott-Heron, In\nSearch of the Lost Chord is the synthesis of a fascinating and\ncomplicated period in our social and countercultural history that was about so\nmuch more than sex, drugs and rock n roll.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":32679024853077,"sku":"9781785783371N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781785783371.jpg?v=1598609699","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/in-search-of-the-lost-chord-1967-the-hippie-idea","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
