"With its exquisite packaging, reminiscent of old rock posters with a subtle Hatch Show Print letterpress homage (even using a textured paper), this boxed set is a treasure. I was especially thrilled to find extra footage of songs and bands that were left out of the original film. This footage is a time capsule of California (and American) culture in the sixties, that as a Californian, I find warmly nostalgic. There is so much gritty footage of the crowd, and of the various bands in preparation for the event—it humanizes them and makes these often idolized figures, seem real and accessible."

Fabulously rich tale about success and loss
This was an unexpected treasure I came across. The language is rich and the story is heartfelt over whether success is truly a positive. The characters of Odelle, Olive and Theresa are wonderfully full and vibrant, and the end tales of the latter are both shocking and moving. One of the most immersive books I've read this year, and Cathy Tyson does a great job in bringing the characters to life.
