Selling the Sixties The Pirates and Pop Music Radio
Author: Robert Chapman
Was it a non-stop psychedelic party or was there more to pirate radio in the sixties than hedonism and hip radicalism?

Using two contrasting models of pop piracy, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman sets pirate radio in its social and cultural context. In doing so he challenges the myths surrounding its maverick `Kings Road' image, separating populist consumerism from the economic and political machinations which were the flipside of the pirate phenomenon.

Selling the Sixties includes previously unseen evidence from the pirates' archives, revealing interviews and an unrivalled selection of rare audio materials.
