Description

Was pirate radio in the sixties a non-stop psychedelic party - an offshore discotheque that never closed? Or was there more to it than hip radicalism and floating jukeboxes? From the mavericks in the King's Road and the clubs of Soho to the multinational advertisers and big business boardrooms, Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of pop piracy, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the pirate phenomenon. Selling the Sixties includes previously unseen evidence from the pirates' own archives, revealing interviews and an unrivalled selection of rare audio material.
