A Marvellous Era, A Marvellous Book January 30, 2010
Rockwell (Melbourne, Australia)
The photographs in this lavish book, 'Beatles to Bowie', are a defining window into an era when pop star images relied on the print medium - before the processing of our imagination by MTV and the internet. It's a stunning - and sometimes revealing - collection of star pix, mostly British, and second only to The Beat Age, a hard-to-find German publication that surpasses this collection but doesn't shadow it.
In summary, 'Beatles to Bowie' is undoubtedly worth the price of entry; I doubt there's been a better printed and produced compendium capturing the time, the place, and the optimism of the era before hippies and delusion set-in.

This follows on from the exhibition attended and the photographs are stunning and reflect a time when England and Music changed from being controlled to leading the world. The photos reflect the sociological changes and in my view are indispensible to understanding those years.

I wanted to see the "Beatles to Bowie" exhibition in London when I saw that the book with the same title would be available at the museum. I checked Amazon and found out that they had the same book and even cheaper! It arrived on the day before I went to London so I had plenty of time to "prepare" myself for a lovely trip back to the 60-ties. It's a fantastic book with plenty of photos to remind you the time when the best music ever was made (according to my humble opinion of course).
