About this listen

The '60s ended a year late - on New Year's Eve 1970, when Paul McCartney initiated proceedings to wind up The Beatles. Music would never be the same again. The next day would see the dawning of a new era.

Nineteen seventy-one saw the release of more monumental albums than any year before or since and the establishment of a pantheon of stars to dominate the next 40 years - Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, the solo Beatles and more.

January that year fired the gun on an unrepeatable surge of creativity, technological innovation, blissful ignorance, naked ambition and outrageous good fortune. By December rock had exploded into the mainstream. How did it happen?

This audiobook tells you how. It's the story of 1971, rock's golden year.

Mandatory stuff for anyone so very fortunate to have grown up, lived and watched live music throughout the 70s.
Hepworth knows his stuff, and for me, that's enough. I know he doesn't appeal to everyone, but precision of facts is where its all at, man.
Carried me back many times- highly recommended within its genre

I never realised how pivotal the year 1971 was for music. Lots of tidbits, and hundreds of little facts about the various acts.

Well worth it
