In America he traces the multi-media history of the Light shows, Happenings, Be-Ins and Acid tests, and illustrates the thriving avant-garde scene that existed long before the Grateful Dead and the Fillmore Auditorium came into being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the UK, he shows an entirely different history, never before explored in such breath-taking detail, where the sublime and the silly co-existed side by side in a peculiarly British take on flower power that drew inspiration as readily from fairy tales, fairgrounds and music halls, as it did from LSD. With a fascinating new perspective on the role of the Beatles, \u003ci\u003ePsychedelia and Other Colours\u003c\/i\u003e documents a cultural phenomenon, in psychedelia’s seminal text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57388759220606,"sku":"NW9780571282746","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780571282746.jpg?v=1778683417","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/psychedelia-other-colours","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
