The revolutionary movement of the 1960s was no exception. 1967 is forever associated with flower power, peace, and the summer of love, while 1968 —tumultuous in terms of global unrest and revolutionary ferment — is synonymous with being “the year of the bar- ricades.” Much has been written about 1968 and music and revolution, most notably Mick Jagger and John Lennon in Britain and their brief flirtations with radical chic.

Particular attention is paid to an overview of the chronology of recording sessions for a number of selected bands from the BBC’s archival collection (1962–1972). The role of John Peel in the creation of creative music programs within the framework of “Radio 1” was noted. The study showed that the digitalization of archival space has brought new opportunities for finding lost rarities that were at the origins of rock music. Both positive and negative trends in the restoration and use of archived musical phonograms from radio storages are noted.

  • Cross-Examining Richard Neville

Cross-examining Richard Neville Of all the people in the underground Richard Neville has clashed most spectacularly with courts, police, Mary Whitehouse and the rest of the custodians of moral behaviour. In his book Play Power he attempted a rationale for the “underground’s” emphasis on cultural liberation as opposed to the somewhat slighted efforts of more orthodox socialist activists. Here we take up the themes of cultural revolution, rock, the underground, opened up in our last two issues, in an extended (and argumentative) interview with Neville. 7 DAYS staffers Anthony Barnett, Judith Ferguson and Maxine Molyneux, along with Clive Goodwin spent an evening with Neville and a tape recorder.

    NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses" (SUB POP) SP1405 CD/ LP FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses (LOSER (SUB POP) SP1405LOSER LP edition-coloured vinyl)" April 2 street date. On her second full-length record, "Head of Roses", Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) follows a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing, led by gut feelings and the near-spiritual experience of visceral songwriting. The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability, honesty and openness, with the self-assuredness that comes with a decade-plus career as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and prolific collaborator. Simply put, "Head of Roses" is a record about heartbreak, but from a dualistic perspective. It's about the experience of having one's heart broken and breaking someone else's heart at the same time. But beyond that, it's about having to reconcile the experience of one's own pain with the understanding that it's impossible to go through life without being the source of great pain for someone else. Carefully curated and culled from the depths of Wasner's heartbreak and healing, it's deeply, intensely personal. KING GIZZARD & THE "Teenage Gizzard (pink (ORG MUSIC) ORGM2210 LP LIZARD WIZA splater on yellow transparent" April 2 street date. "Teenage Gizzard" is a compilation album featuring early recordings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, recorded between 2010 and 2011 in Victoria, Australia.
