Tomorrow's People.

Jeremy Sandford’s account of the rise of pop festivals in Britain (the Isle of Wight, Phun City, Weeley, Glastonbury, Bath, Bickershaw, Windsor et al), profusely illustrated throughout with colour and b/w photographs by Ron Reid, who has inscribed and SIGNED this copy on the title page (Reid also contributed to Suck and the ‘Wet Dreams’ book).
His photographs include some of the performers who played at the festivals (Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, the Pink Fairies, Hawkwind, among others), as well as the pot smoking, often naked hippies who attended them.
