"TOP ROCK BOOK 2023" - Something Else

Pop Rock Icons: London's Swingin 60s &70s takes us into the extraordinary world of London, England at the time of the greatest countercultural upheaval that the country has known. A real musical revolution began at the beginning of the 1960s, led by the Beatles, further ignited by the Rolling Stones and many others. The incredible rise of rock music continued until the end of the 1970s, when Punk arrived and launched a new wave of DIY rebellion.

In photographs which capture the spirit of the times, [re]discover the optimism of the Beatles; the Stones’ dark rhythm‘n’blues; the energy of The Who; the innovation of prog rock with Pink Floyd and Genesis, as well as the explosive heavy metal of Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. The 70s gave us the glam rock of T Rex and the gritty pub rock of Dr Feelgood, without forgetting the rock giants: Led Zeppelin, Queen, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and the unclassifiable David Bowie.

“…this lavishly illustrated book is not only a treat for rock fans, it’s a veritable study guide for the budding bohemian fashionista.” – Zoë Howe, author of Lee Brilleaux: Rock ‘n’ Roll Gentleman

“a very tastefully designed volume with a wide scope that embraces rhythm and blues, pure pop, guitar heroes, ‘prog’, heavy metal, glam and pub rock… It’s a tremendously eclec

“Why collate a photography collection of musicians? The answer is simple because “fashion was driven by music and musicians” in the 60s & 70s. Furthermore, the choice of photographs selected are more than just savvy promotional photo shoots. For instance, The Beatles are captured together playing pitch and putt, looking rather unsophisticated. The alluring presence of the late founder of The Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, came across, and it was a wise choice to include all Rolling Stones images with him in them. There is even a photograph of Jones with John Lennon and Yoko Ono with a nervous-looking young Julian Lennon. Standing in the background is Roger Daltrey…. Best of all, through the forum of music, we see how a diverse generation during the “London’s Swingin’ 60s & 70s” discover who they truly were.” – Michael Barron, xsnoize

“rock fans of every generation will enjoy flicking through photos of stars in their finery given a certain je ne sais quoi in full colour plates.” – Claudia Elliott, Classic Rock Magazine

“The book takes you on a wonderful journey into the history of British rock music, specifically focusing on the freedom and trends in the country’s capital city, London. It starts and takes you through the 60s with game changers who led the musical revolution in the early 60s, which was marshalled by The Beatles and further erupted by The Rolling Stones, amongst others… Philippe has done a sublime job of collating the best and signature photographs to embody the time for musical significance, culture, and fashion. It takes you on a nostalgic trip, offers an insightful look into the spirit of that time, and demonstrates the crucial milestones of those who set the foundations of rock and metal in Britain.” – Carina Lawrence, Mad About Rock magazine

“...unashamedly celebrates the rock star as an otherworldly figure. As writer and bandleader Dave Sinclair points out in his foreword: ‘Margotin has assembled a magical parade of photographs which captures the spirit of a time when fashion, culture and the arts were driven by the British musicians of the 1960s and 1970s… a hugely fascinating book. One in which all music fans can find something to lose themselves in.” – Craig Campbell, Louder Than War magazine
