"Following on from the brilliant Psychedelic Celluloid , author Simon Matthews takes us on a journey through the films influenced by and featuring the seventies and early eighties' rock stars. Everything is presented with interesting facts and geek-like attention to detail (chart positions for the hits, for example). Matthews takes us through the way both pop culture and counterculture defined the output of film and TV. Among the numerous points is how a former Beatle almost singlehandedly saved the British film industry - for a while, at least. Being led through the decade of the mid-'70s to '80s is dazzling. Anyone with interest in UK film or music will find Looking for a New England fascinating." -- Starburst.
