A “comprehensive history of psychedelic music in Britain and America during the Sixties, it differs from others in delving more deeply into sociological and cultural issues, especially during the second half of the book on “Psychedelia UK.” A recurring theme is the influence of LSD on psych, not only on the music but on lyrics, light shows, fashion, and posters. “Acid sugar-cubed and blotter-soaked and tidal-waved its way across the universe in ways unparalleled before or since,” as he sums up on the last page. But Chapman also discusses the influence of nostalgia, utopianism, media coverage, censorship, racism, and psychology on the music as well. This is as much a cultural history of psych as a music survey”
