Items related to My Generation: The Glory Years of Rock
On New Year’s Day 1964, the now-legendary English TV show Top of the Pops premiered on the BBC, featuring the Rolling Stones, the Hollies, and the Dave Clark Five. Over the next two decades virtually every major rock and pop act from Britain and the U.S. alike--from the Beatles and Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and David Bowie--appeared on Top of the Pops, and every one was captured by the show’s official photographer, Harry Goodwin. Goodwin recorded the evolution of the era at a time of enormous social change, as music progressed from beat to protest, from Motown and psychedelia to glam rock and heavy metal. My Generation: The Glory Years of Rock tells the story of the people who provided the soundtrack to those momentous times, with outstanding, beautifully printed images of the biggest names in rock history.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. On New Year's Day 1964, the first edition of "Top of the Pops" was broadcast on the BBC. The timing was perfect, British rock and roll had just entered its greatest period - the Beatles were occupying the top five positions in the American singles charts, and their international success was followed by the Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark Five, who were both featured on that first programme. Over the next decade virtually every major rock and pop act from Britain and America appeared on the series, and were captured by the camera of the resident photographer, Harry Goodwin. He recorded the changing imagery of the era at a time of enormous social change, as music progressed from beat to protest, from Motown and Psychedelia to heavy metal and glam rock. "My Generation: The Glory Years of British Rock" tells the story of the people who provided the soundtrack to those momentous times, and includes outstanding images of the biggest names in rock history - from the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR006248095
