ARTIST PROOF

COPIES STILL

AVAILABLE .

It was two years in the making for author Bob Aylott, and the seven other top photographers who contributed to the most important publication, about the greatest pop festival of all time. The hard work paid off, the book was shortlisted for 'Best British Book' in the British Book Design and Production Awards 2009. With exclusive stories, iconic and unpublished photographs, ‘Isle of Wight Festival 1970, ‘Six Days That Rocked the World’ is set to go down in rock and roll history. The former press photographer who covered the 1970 festival (see right) admits he wrote the book while commuting daily on the train from Portsmouth to London. He says of the nomination, ‘it was a tremendous team efffort from the photographers, the book editor, the book designer and the boys and girls at the printers Falcon Press. To be shortlisted was an amazing honour for the whole team. There are pages of incredible unseen photographs from photographers who are passionate about their work. Plus back stage interviews from the people who made the festival happen.  Including the real life story of Fairfield Parlour, the band who opened the show on the promise of fame and fortune but discovered the heartache of rock and roll’.
