Linda McCartney's Sixties is an enduring testimony to the optimism and spontaneity of the music of the times. She was at the heart of it all, photographing the Doors' first New York performance, sitting in on the Who's rehearsals and Cream's recording sessions. She went clubbing with Eric Burdon, and was Jimi Hendrix's close confidante. She became, she said, "like a band member whose chosen instrument was the camera." Her work took her on tour with Blue Cheer and the Yardbirds; to Los Angeles and San Francisco to photograph the Beach Boys and the vulnerability of Janis Joplin; and finally to London to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper launch, where she met and fell in love with Paul McCartney. For the first time Linda McCartney has collected the best of these photographs - most of which have never been published - into a lavish compilation that gives a unique an personal view of the people, the places, and the time. Accompanied by an illuminating text that is both documentary and intimate, they offer a portrait of the sixties unlike any other.
