L'introduction souligne à quel point les Britanniques sont nazes pour préserver leur histoire, sinon. C'est dingue de se dire qu'il ne subsiste que cinq épisodes de Top of the Pops des années 60, et trois épisodes de Ready, Steady, Go ! Tout le reste a disparu. Heureusement que les autres pays (dont la France, merci l'INA !) ne sont pas aussi branquignoles.
Bref, du coup, j'ai acheté un bouquin de 700 pages juste pour les 5 pages sur les Pretty Things et je me sens un peu bête, mais peut-être que je peux vous en faire profiter. Si y a des artistes qui vous intéressent dans la table des matières, vous pouvez laisser un mot ici et je vous copierai le passage qui les concerne.
