'A fantastic, exhaustive history of the genre: comphrehensive but
gripping, packed with eye-opening period detail and with a
brilliant analysis of everything from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band to the oeuvre of the Crocheted Doughnut Ring' Alexis
Petridis The Guardian 'An exhaustive, idiosyncratic and very
entertaining reappraisal of an often lazily documented period' Jim
Irvin Mojo 4* As an account of psychedelia's glorious highs and
preposterous charms, Chapman's exhaustive exploration of this
Arcadian age with take its rightful place as the standard text Rob
Young The New Statesman '...it's not so much that Rob Chapman [...]
brings new insights to the table though it does that too: it's more
that it constitutes a whole other table in its own right' Oregano
Rathbone Record Collector 4* Undeniably admirable and enjoyable
