Portugal Electro: R'n'r Counter Culture 1955-1982
'R'N'R COUNTER CULTURE 1955-1982'. For the first time, the secrets of the Portuguese musical counter culture will be revealed through a unique book- compilation. The book is an unprecedented visual anthology of the Portuguese Rock'n'Roll. It is the most comprehensive and relevant collection of documentation - most of it unpublished - looking over photographs, record covers and other documents that reveal part of the history of Portuguese music, unknown until now to the general public. It reveals the world of Portuguese Rock between 1955 and 1982, highlighting the bands that lived and worked in the former Portuguese colonies, the British invasion, the first contest "Ye Ye", the psychedelia of the 60s, the progressive rock, the first music festivals of the 70s and the rise of punk. Around 500 full colour record covers of the 60s, 70s and early punk Portuguese bands. Including also more than 200 record covers pressed in Portugal from foreign bands like THE WHO, SEEDS, SMALL FACES, RENEGADES, STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK, THEM, STONES...
