I rarely spend time here babbling anything but music or records or CD's. But this here my friends is a book that you need. If you're reading this blog chances are you're at least remotely interested in all things 60's and if you're a 60's Anglophile like myself then this is the book for you.
Where else on the planet can you find a book that deals with Satan worshipping, hippies, Peter Rachman, Carnaby Street, beat poets, mods, L.S.D., trepanning, Michael X, Oz magazine, Hell's Angels, "Performance", The Marquee club, bent policeman, The Process, pornography, the U.F.O. club, pop art, The Action, C.N.D., the Two I's, Club 59, skinheads, The Deviants etc ?!

Best of all it's all told in the words of those who lived it, not some sketchy student thesis interpretation of what once. In fact I think I'm due for a brand new copy to replace my dog eared, used one!

Is a great book - it certainly portrayed Mods in a different light to the one they're usually shown in.
God, I've been meaning to read this for AGES. I've just never went ahead and bought the damn thing. Thanks for reminding me.
