London : Bantam Press, (2016). First edition : the hardback issue. Music journalist, presenter and historian David Hepworth — “1971 saw the release of more monumental albums than any year before or since and the establishment of a pantheon of stars who would dominate the next forty years ... January that year fired the gun on an unrepeatable surge of creativity, technological innovation, blissful ignorance, naked ambition and outrageous good fortune. By December rock had exploded into the mainstream. How did it happen? This book tells you. It’s the story of 1971, rock’s golden year”.
Medium 8vo (25cm). [viii],375,[i]pp. Plates, portraits, some coloured. Original pictorial boards; tiny bruise to one corner, but a very good copy in the curious original (and intensely irritating) three-quarter-length dust-jacket, designed to expose the upper portion of the boards.
