The astonishing outpouring of rock 'n' roll in the 1960s in Australia and New Zealand gave birth to such iconic bands as the Easybeats, the Masters Apprentices, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, the Purple Hearts, and the Missing Links. It also launched the careers of a generation of musicians who would go on to greater, international fame with their later groups (the Bee Gees, AC/DC, Little River Band, and more).In Wild About You, authors Ian D. Marks and Iain McIntyre offer profiles of 35 of the most important bands who made the scene. The book is profusely illustrated with many classic images by the great rock photographers of the period (in particular Jim Colbert and Colin Beard, who were heavily involved in this project), as well as photos and ads from Go-Set and Everybody's, rare posters and more from the bands' personal collections. It also includes the authors' Top 100 Beat and Garage Songs and a detailed discography, as well as an introduction by Ian McFarlane.Wild About You is destined to be the definitive work on this crucial period in music, and compulsory reading for Sixties obsessives and garage-band enthusiasts everywhere.
