Very good quality dust jacket with plastic cover. Features Images of London and its culture. From Inside DJ flap - Suddenly London was the new capital of cool, the epicenter of a revolution that transformed the cultural and social outlook of the western world. Fashion, art, film, theater, literature, popular music and graphic design were the hip products of Swinging London. The Krays ruled the East End and meanwhile a century of prudery was overturned with the Lady Chatterley trial. The satire movement boomed, the Profumo scandal culminated in tragic absurdity. England triumphed in the World Cup at Wembley, anti-Vietnam protesters stormed Grosvenor Square. It was the era of Twiggy and Mary Quant, Peter Blake and David Hockney, The Rolling Stones and Sandie Shaw, Harold Wilson in Number Ten, miniskirts in the Kings Road, Private Eye and the Sunday Time's new color magazine. Here are the images of a phenomenal, fab decade, chosen for their aptness in recreating the ambiance of the most extraordinary era in London's 20th century history. The Swinging Sixties was a youth-driven cultural revolution that took place in the United Kingdom during the mid-to-late 1960s, emphasizing modernity and fun-loving hedonism, with Swinging London denoted as its center. It saw a flourishing in art, music and fashion, and was symbolized by the city's "pop and fashion exports", such as the Beatles, as the multimedia leaders of the British Invasion of musical acts; the mod and psychedelic subcultures; Mary Quant's miniskirt designs; popular fashion models such as Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton; the iconic status of popular shopping areas such as London's King's Road, Kensington and Carnaby Street; the political activism of the anti-nuclear movement; and the sexual liberation movement. Music was an essential part of the revolution, with "the London sound" being regarded as including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Kinks and the Small Faces, bands that were additionally the mainstay of pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline, Wonderful Radio London and Swinging Radio England. Swinging London also reached British cinema, which according to the British Film Institute "saw a surge in formal experimentation, freedom of expression, color, and comedy", with films that explored countercultural and satirical themes. During this period, "creative types of all kinds gravitated to the capital, from artists and writers to magazine publishers, photographers, advertisers, film-makers and product designers".
