Thank You For The Days ...: Thank You For The Days - The 60s Picture Book

(Bear Family Records/Good Times Magazine) Softcover with flaps, German, 28x20.5x1.5cm, 244 pages, illustrated throughout in colour and b/w.

The Sixties were the most important decade in the development of pure pop music. New directions, new fads and trends, new sounds. And, most of all, new faces ...almost weekly. Many of those new faces are still remembered. There have been many books on Sixties pop heroes. Why another one?

Heres why:

Thank You For The Days (to quote the unforgettable Kinks smash Days) lets you see familiar faces in unfamiliar ways. Youll even see the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, but not in their coloured swimsuits or in womens dresses. This is truly something different.
Thank You For The Days mixes previously unseen snapshots with unguarded live shots. Plus informative captions! For example, the Kinks Ray Davies in the German city of Luedenscheid - The Rattles playing mini-golf - The Lords singer Ulli checking neckties - The Bee Gees and their very own wheelbarrow - The Troggs Reg Presley serving drinks - Keith Moon (The Who) cracking mussels - The Walker Brothers buying a car, and many more. ,
Thank You For The Days is a cornucopia of mega-stars (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Cream), hit artists (Kinks, Who, Troggs, Pretty Things, Seeds, Standells etc.), and outsiders (The Syn, The Marquis Of Kensington, Anita Harris, The Matadors). Most of the photos were taken in Germany, either on stage, or in TV or recording studios. Theres so much you havent seen, but pride of place goes to several completely unknown photos from the Beatles early days at Hamburgs famous Star-Club in 1962. Here are John, Paul, George, drummer Pete Best and Roy Young on piano. Their very first producer, legendary orchestra leader and composer Bert Kaempfert, is sitting in the audience. Sensational stuff!

The book is divided into seven chapters:

Beat/R&,B: Searchers, Lee Curtis, The Spencer Davis Group, Them a.o.
German bands: Boots, Rivets, Die Anderen, Giants, German Bonds a.o.
Line-crossers: Drafi, Adam &, Eve (first line-up), Paul Wrges, Manuela ,a. o.
Pop, Mods etc.: Creation, Smoke, Yardbirds, Electric Prunes, Herd ,a. o. Folk, Soul: Donovan, Joan Baez, Christopher &, Michael, Flirtations ,a. o.
60s/70s: Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull , Hardin &, York, Free, Taste a.o.
Plus, there are ultra-rare shots from well-known German TV music shows:
TV faces: Beat-Club, 4-3-2-1 Hot and Sweet, Beat! Beat! Beat!

Still not convinced you need this book?

Here are some more names: World Of Oz, Procol Harum, Marbles, Marsha Hunt, Casuals, Raymond Froggatt, Showstoppers, Free, Rocking Ghosts, Tielman Brothers, Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs, The Young Idea, David &, Jonathan, Grapefruit, Liverbirds, Traffic, Edgar Broughton Band, Blizzards, The Nice. Thank for the Days is the work of music archaeologist Bernd Matheja. Since his highly recommended book 1000 Nadelstiche (plus its CD companion series) and the multi-volume CD projects Pop In Germany and Smash! Boom! Bang! Mathejas name has become synonymous with formidably well-researched Sixties projects and incredible research. This time, Matheja would like to acknowledge the help of the music magazine Good Times. Many items were borrowed from their files, and this book would have been impossible without their help.

Customer evaluation for "Thank You For The Days - The 60s Picture Book"

Eine tolle Erinnerung an die Swinging Sixties und die Freunde des Beat-Clubs.

From: Chris K. On: 1 Feb 2019

Spannend und gut gemacht

Viele tolle, nicht unbedingt bekannte Fotos, welche die lebendig werden lassen. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

From: Olaf P. On: 19 Dec 2018

Ein Buch, wie man es selten findet!

Ein wirklich sehr informatives Buch mit zum Teil seltenen Snapshots!
Die Fotos sind von guter Qualität und überwiegend nicht "gestellt".
Die Begleittexte sind zwar von der Ausführlichkeit etwas knapp ausgefallen, aber dennoch durchaus informativ.
Toll aber finde ich vor allem, dass in dem Buch auch auf einige "One-Hit-Wonder" eingegangen wird (z.b. Marquis Of Kensington).
Insgesamt ein absolutes "Must have"!!
