Beschreibung

<p><b>'Across 21 albums, Jones smartly covers the songs and music as well as the geo-cultural milieu that nurtured and enveloped them. An excellent book' <i>Irish Times</i></b><br><b> <br>'Makes one crave a follow-up undertaking for 1976!' <i>Record Collector</i></b><br><b> <br>'Enormously entertaining . . . Never has pop history been so elegantly told' <i>London Standard</i></b><br><br>1975 was the apotheosis of music. Rich with masterpieces, it's the most important year in the narrative arc of the music of the twentieth-century: <i>Blood on the Tracks</i> by Bob Dylan, <i>The Who by Numbers</i> by the Who, <i>Young Americans</i> by David Bowie, <i>A Night at the Opera</i> by Queen and the eponymous <i>Fleetwood Mac</i>, to name just a few.<br><br>The records of 1975 were magisterial; records that couldn't be bettered. Who could realistically make a more sophisticated album than <i>The Hissing of Summer Lawns</i>? Or a more complex hard-rock album than <i>Physical Graffiti</i>? Or a record as unimpeachable and as prescient as <i>Horses</i>?<br><br>It was a year filled with an unparalleled sense of ambition, where the album was venerated as much as the modern novel, where everyone was trying to make a masterpiece.<br><br>Setting the music against the social, political and artistic context of the time, Dylan Jones brilliantly unravels the cultural fragments that made 1975 the greatest year of them all.</p>
