Description
Julian Cope's Japrocksampler is a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music that reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two. This book explores the clash between traditional, conservative values and the wild rock'n'roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s.
It tells the story of seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking. Cope's unique perspective offers a fascinating insight into this often-overlooked chapter in music history.
Paperback edition, 302 pages.
