Paris: Henri Veyrier, 1976. 1st French Edition. Folio, publisher's illustrated stiff paper wraps.
Ten years of rock and roll poster art compiled by English music journalist and counterculture figure Mick Farren. Positioning the poster as the visual analog to the decade's music, this lushly illustrated volume overflows with fantastically trippy large-format reproductions promoting such acts as Bob Dylan, the Who, the Doors, Captain Beefheart, Jimi Hendrix, Bryan Ferry, Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez, the Rolling Stones, Soft Machine, Hawkwind, Cat Stevens, Leon Russell, Leonard Cohen, Alice Cooper, Roxy Music, Blue Oyster Cult, Mott the Hoople, and more! Many plates printed with metallic ink. Opens with an introduction by Farren providing a historical and sociological overview of rock and roll posters, as well as detailing printing processes. Originally published in the UK earlier the same year. Light Creasing and moderate edgewear to wraps. Very good. Item #13519
