The '60s Antipodean pix thread!

[Stampy]

Go-Set was Australia's leading pop magazine back in the day. The book Tomorrow Is Today: Australia In The Psychedelic Era, 1966-1970, has a chapter dedicated to the magazine; there's an extensive interview with the magazine's founder and editor Philip Frazer. Great book, too, by the way!!

Moonlight publishing are releasing a Wild About You book in June.

The new edition of a book I've cowritten with Ian Marks is out through Verse Chorus Press and available in most bookshops. It's a major expansion on the 2004 tome with 352 pages, 35 bands, a Top 100 guide to Oz/NZ garage tracks and over 400 images. Read below for more details on the book and our two launches.
Cheers,
Iain.

Thanks a bunch!
I should have googled it myself, but I thought it is something more cryptic...:oops:

Don't beat yourself over the head 'bout it. We all do it at some stage.

Apparently this is already available via Verse Chorus Press' website; definitely looks like a must read. With this and the very recent The Music Goes Round My Head, this is a good time for books on Australian '60s rock and roll.

was diggin in the garage again after reading this thread again before and found a copy of an old mag called Pop 67 that I was asked by the late great Dean Mittelhauser (Livin' End mag and It's A Kave In comps) to make bromides of for his upcoming Livin' End magazines. I sent him back all the bromides before he died and only ever copied photocopies for myself.

I stupidly in my youth never copied the whole book, only the names I knew or those that Dean asked for, but this was the cover of the book and the list of contents . .

Each page had a brief bio and record label / managemnt info and fan club contact (Ray Brown had a fan club here in the Gong in Cringila ?!?! ha ha ha) - if there are any requests for any of the individual band pics, I'll see if I have still have them and upload them - spewin I didn't copy the whole book tho and now Dean has passed, effin knows what happened to the book or the bromides I made for him
