BOB DYLAN & THE BYRDS

    "Fulvio Fiore and Alex Franchi present a monumental, richly illustrated volume that brings together period musical and cultural publications from around the world, documenting Bob Dylan’s extraordinary artistic revolution during the historic transition from acoustic folk to electric rock, a turning point that shocked and fascinated millions of traditional folk fans, forever changing the history of contemporary music.
    The book opens with a fitting psychedelic tribute on its cover, dominated by the extraordinary and visionary portrait of Bob published in OZ Magazine, before immersing readers in a documentary journey through extremely rare pages from BILLBOARD, KRLA BEAT, RECORD MIRROR and MUSICA E DISCHI, alongside posters, photographs, articles and long-unobtainable documents that tell, in real time, the cultural, social and generational impact of Dylan’s electric turn and the Byrds’ parallel, innovative evolution, which would profoundly influence future generations of artists, protest movements and youth countercultures around the world!"
