[2], 128, [2], pages. Illustrations. 8.5 x 8.6 x .625 inch dim. Very good quality dust jacket with plastic cover. Features Images of London and its culture. From Inside DJ flap - Suddenly London was the new capital of cool, the epicenter of a revolution that transformed the cultural and social outlook of the western world. Fashion, art, film, theater, literature, popular music and graphic design were the hip products of Swinging London. The Krays ruled the East End and meanwhile a century of prudery was overturned with the Lady Chatterley trial. The satire movement boomed, the Profumo scandal culminated in tragic absurdity.

Music was an essential part of the revolution, with "the London sound" being regarded as including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Kinks and the Small Faces, bands that were additionally the mainstay of pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline, Wonderful Radio London and Swinging Radio England. Swinging London also reached British cinema, which according to the British Film Institute "saw a surge in formal experimentation, freedom of expression, color, and comedy", with films that explored countercultural and satirical themes. During this period, "creative types of all kinds gravitated to the capital, from artists and writers to magazine publishers, photographers, advertisers, film-makers and product designers". …
