As a Punk Rocker, Jon Savage Sneered at Hippie Music, Now He's Compiled this Collection of Overlooked Gems from 1970. His Idea was to Uncover and Celebrate a Particularly Misunderstood Musical Moment. Contrary to Received Opinion, the Cusp of the 1960s and 1970s was Not a Musical Wasteland, There were Many Gems Among the Dross. Says Savage "The Early 1970s Is, in Many Ways, a Great Lost Rock Era. It Captured the Moment When the Positive Influence of 1967 Reached Its Peak, Despite the Fact that it was a Period of Wasteful Overproduction, Just Before the First Great Petrochemical Scare of 1972-3. By Editing Indifferent Albums Down to their Best Cut, in Finding Unfamiliar Songs by Well-known Artists and Uncovering a Few Well-kept Secrets, I Tried to Compile a CD that Sounds Good in the 21st Century".Customer Reviews:
