AS THE ISLAND SLOWLY SANK

   'AS THE ISLAND SLOWLY SANK is an invaluable addition to the history of both Bob Dylan and the first Isle of Wight festivals. As author Derek Barker (editor of Dylan fanzine ISIS) acknowledges, these subjects were well covered by Brian Hinton’s MESSAGE TO LOVE, which Barker draws upon for his booklet, but there is much new material here. First-hand interviews with key figures and research based on little-known publications has filled some important gaps in our knowledge of a hugely significant period in the history of popular culture.'
