REVIEWS
The most important book ever written about the 60s and 70s UK music scene… A fascinating study of a prolific, colourful period in musical history’ – Record Collector
‘A treasure trove that seems a bargain at £30. Endlessly fascinating… It will offer pop music obsessives many hours of serendipitous pleasure’ – The Daily Telegraph
‘Unique in its combination of contemporary reviews with retrospective analysis… Truly something any fan of British music should add to their library’ – Ptolemaic Terrascope
‘For a true hit of nostalgia, nothing beats Galactic Ramble, whose survey of both famous and deeply obscure British albums from the 1960s and 1970s is the next-best thing to flicking through stacks of vinyl in a dusty record store’ – The Financial Times
‘An astounding piece of work... If you like British popular music of the 60s and 70s, this is pretty much an essential purchase. Nothing else yet comes close to either the scope or entertainment value of this book’ – Shindig
