Progressive rock originated and flourished in the UK in the late Sixties and throughout the Seventies. Prog looked towards new horizons by synthesising rock, jazz, folk, classical and other styles. While it has always divided critical opinion, prog had a large and devoted fanbase and the era's biggest acts, from Pink Floyd to Genesis, went on to enjoy international success.
Examining the myths and misconceptions surrounding the genre, music journalist Mike Barnes paints a vivid picture of the Seventies, based on over 100 of his own interviews with musicians, music business insiders, journalists and DJs, and personal testimonies from fans of that extraordinary decade.
Offering something new for even the keenest of prog enthusiasts, this Remastered edition is an in-depth study of both the music and the cultural conditions that fed into, and were affected by, this remarkable phenomenon.
Originally published in 2020, this new edition, part of Omnibus' 'Remastered' series, comes with a fresh new forward by Steve 'Genesis' Hackett.
