The re-publication of Tony Palmer's first book on the state of pop music at the beginning of the 1970's. Originally published by William Kimber in 1970, copies have become elusive. This new edition is revised and contains a new introduction by Tony Palmer. Ralph Steadman's black and white collage artwork perfectly compliments the text - among the best and least known of his early work.
