The 1960s saw the Beat Boom, the Pill, parking meters, topless dresses, see-through blouses, sit-ins, love-ins, civil rights, flower power, the mini and the maxi. It was the decade that saw an explosion in music and fashion and the voice of youth was loud across the world. Man landed on the moon, England won the world cup and all you needed was love. No other decade has given the world more than those ten heady years. And much of it came from Liverpool. The clubs, the bands, trend-setting fashions, world-class architecture and a thriving economy, all came together to make Liverpool the success story of the Swinging Sixties. Packed with rare photographs from the unrivalled archives of the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, this 84-page souvenir is a unique collection and record of the decade. From The Cavern to Paddy's Wigwam, from Z-Cars to the Hovercraft, from Subbuteo to Catterick and Shankly - Liverpool was at the centre of a decade that shook the world. This is an essential read for anyone who was born, grew up, or experienced the '60s in Liverpool.
