About this Item

A beautiful Limited Numbered First Edition Signed by former Beatle, the late George Harrison and 10 other contributors of the 93 that contributed text and memories to this beautiful edition of photographs by Michael Cooper. Numbered 1000 out of 5000 Signed Limited Editions. The contributors who signed include Tariq Ali, Peter Blake, Colin Self, Bill Wyman, Adam Cooper, Larry Rivers, Gerard Malanga, Billy Al Bengston, Terry Doran and Neil Aspinall. Beautifully bound in leather and buckram in bright yellow & black with red page edges, the book is in fine unread condition. Enclosed in a fine silkscreened solander box, with an image inset on the top, each book's is different. This inset picture is, we believe, of a young Ronnie Wood, of The Faces, and latter the Rolling Stones, from a photograph on p.71of the book. Forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards; Introduction by Terry Southern; Consultancy by Bill Wyman. The most stupendous rock and roll picture book ever assembled. Michael Cooper's superb photographs provide a unique insider's view of the Sixties. It was a prolific and exhilarating period of artistic cross-fertilization. For the first time in Britain the class barriers were really down; in London, everyone seemed to know everyone, and we were unaware how close The Rolling Stones and the Beatles were. Through his association with Robert Fraser and the Stones and The Beatles, Michael met the artists, writers, poets and musicians of the time and the courtiers around them. He introduced these people to each other. Many of those who brilliantly lit up the decade on both sides of the Atlantic were photographed by him. His most well known photographic assignment was the album cover for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A beautiful set and scarce when signed by George Harrison.
