| Sumario: | "Downtown, 1956-1965-the first volume of Sixties British Pop, Outside In-describes the rise of London's music and recording industries through the stories of those who gave Britain a significant voice in transatlantic pop culture. After the national success of artists such as Lonnie Donegan, Cliff Richard, and Helen Shapiro, the Beatles led an international wave that included groups such as the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Animals and singers such as Petula Clark, Tom Jones, and Cilla Black. Supporting them, a community of musicians, producers, music directors, engineers, songwriters, publishers, promoters, and journalists created songs and recordings, organized concerts, and wrote about music that reflected the optimism of an audience eager for new material. Based on extensive research and drawing on vintage and original interviews, Sixties British Pop, Outside In relates this world to the Bulge Generation in the UK (and Baby Boomers in America) and to the technologies and English behaviors that shaped this music culture."-- "Itchycoo Park, 1964-1970-the second volume of Sixties British Pop, Outside In- explores how London songwriters, musicians, and production crews navigated the era's cultural upheavals by reimagining the pop-music envelope. British songwriters, musicians, and production crews explored form, sound, and subject matter as western society grappled with racism, sexism, war, revolution, and migration in a postcolonial world. As these creators and curators of popular culture combined interests in jazz, folk, blues, Indian ragas, and western classical music, they created sophisticated hybrid forms that redefined pop music. Based on extensive research and drawing on vintage and original interviews, Sixties British Pop, Outside In contextualizes the world of the Beatles through King Crimson in the frameworks of the postwar surge in births that created the Bulge Generation in the UK (and Baby Boomers in America), emergent technologies, English behavior, and the places and spaces in which people created and consumed pop music"-- |
