The Ultimate Guide to US Psych / Garage / Hippie Rock!

Originally published in paperback but this one is the Deluxe, Gold-Foil-Embossed Faux-Leather Hardback!

Limited Edition 750 machine-numbered copies only! This is the No 222

The most detailed guide to US psychedelia, garage and hippie-rock of the 1964-1975 era ever published! It provides an A-Z listing of relevant artists with discographies, personnel details, band histories, comment on the music and, in some cases, includes the personal recollections of band members Individual entries also include details of reissues, appearances on retrospective compilations and chart entries There is also a rarity scale for albums

At the end of the book, which has been assembled with the help of avid record collectors, there is a list of all compilations referred to with the label details and year of release as well as discographies for three leading sixties reissue labels: Sundazed, Gear Fab and Akarma

The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with black and white illustrations and there is also a twelve-page colour section

Vernon Joynson's name has become synonymous with two massive, pioneering works of pop scholarship, The Tapestry Of Delights and Fuzz, Acid & Flowers This long-awaited limited reprint of the latter covers almost every aspect of American popular music of the 60s and 70s

Spread over 1,100 pages are a vast number of acts (spanning folk, blues, rock, pop, jazz and beyond), with personnel, discographies and a rarity scale offered alongside overviews of their careers and a multitude of illustrations With contributions from many of the world's leading pop experts and collectors, this lovingly-compiled and endlessly fascinating book deserves space on every serious music fan's bookshelf.

What makes this edition especially desirable is that it is a strictly limited heavyweight hardback printing of a mere 750 copies.

"Crossroads brought together all the players I had admired and respected over the years. It was like a magic circus, a dream come true. " – Eric ClaptonIn 1999 Eric Clapton invited a handful of musicians to join him on stage at New York's Madison Square Garden to raise money for his Crossroads Centre, an addiction rehabilitation centre in Antigua. Over the course of nearly 15 years, the festival grew into a celebration of guitar playing that drew musicians and fans from around the world.Telling this story through a wealth of stunning photographs and original commentary from world-renowned musicians, Sunshine of Your Love is Eric Clapton's official limited edition book and record set documenting the Crossroads Guitar Festivals, 1999-2013.

Choix de Chansons compiled by Jean-Benjamin de Laborde

J. Lemonnyer Bookseller in Rouen, 1881, Quarto, 2 ff + 150 + (3) pages. Volumes 3 & 4 of the reprint on Vergé paper of the superb 1773 edition of a selection of songs with scores by Jean Benjamin de Laborde (1734-1794) familiar with Louis XV and the Du Barry. For Volume 1, De Laborde had begun the illustrations with Jean-Michel Moreau (1741-1814), but he collaborated with Le Bouteux, Le Barbier and Saint-Quentin for the other 3 volumes. In addition to the front cover and the title page, there is a frontispiece in this volume (bound after the title page), and 25 intaglio engravings by Le Bouteux, Le Barbier and Saint-Quentin.

Condition: The two books were clearly damaged in a fire. The boards are in poor condition, and the edges are singed. There is some staining around the margins of some of the pages- more in Vol. 3 than Vol. 4. - but many other pages show little or no damage. Please see the photos...

Description:
London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
