The Magic of L.A.'s '60s Music Scene Beautifully RecapturedBy Mr. Los AngelesThis fun and fascinating compilation of interviews; stories and photographs beautifully recaptures the memorable music scene of 1960s Los Angeles. Harvey Kubernik is to be highly commended for bringing so many of the key elements together; especially the record industry people and musicians who were instrumental in producing and creating the music. All told; I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a treasured memory or experience from the era; and would love to recapture those special times once again.--Mr. Los Angeles / June; 2013
