I got there on a coach from Liverpool. Still have the ANL poster as shown above! Pity the Clash aren't on it.Those RAR / ANL Carnival posters by David King were great. I remember this one, I was on one of several coaches from Leeds for the day. There were so many people marching I didn't get to Victoria Park until The Clash were well into their set, but it didn't matter. Good to see some of that spirit back again now!
Hello Woodface, I watched the highly informative PBS series and then bought the 5 cd boxset which has the usual sort of printed narrative but I cannot recall seeing an accompanying book. An Amazon search did not show any KB Jazz books so am wondering what it is you are referring to - I imagine it would be as you suggest an excellent tome.I am ploughing my way through the Ken Burns Jazz book that accompanied the series. It is an excellent tome with some wonderful insights.
