Danny Goldberg

'Danny Goldberg is probably one of the purest, most reasonable

guides you could ask for to 1967.' Ex-Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. 
'Weaves together rollicking, rousing, wonderfully colourful and

disparate narratives to remind us how the energies and aspirations of the

counterculture were intertwined with protest and reform … mesmerising.' The Nation

It was

the year that saw the release of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club

Band, and of debut albums from the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and

Janis Joplin. The year of the Summer of Love and LSD; the Monterey Pop Festival

and Black Power; Muhammad Ali's conviction for draft avoidance and Martin

Luther King Jr's public opposition to war in Vietnam.

On its 50th anniversary, music business veteran

Danny Goldberg analyses 1967, looking not only at the political influences, but

also the spiritual, musical and psychedelic movements that defined the era,

providing a unique perspective on how and why its legacy lives on today.

Exhaustively researched and informed by

interviews including Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and Gil Scott-Heron, In

Search of the Lost Chord is the synthesis of a fascinating and

complicated period in our social and countercultural history that was about so

much more than sex, drugs and rock n roll.
