Limiterad utgåva med en Shakers 7" vinyl singel innehållande låtarna "Day tripper" / "I don't need that kind of loving".<br/><br/>Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Hendrix, Dusty och Tages - 60-talets musikexplosion i Göteborg sedd genom Hans Sidéns kamera.<br/><br/>Han satt så nära John Lennon att han hade kunnat röra vid hans fötter om han lutat sig fram när Beatles spelade på Lorensbergs Cirkus i oktober 1963. Han tjatade med Rolling Stones i ett rum på Park Avenue Hotell, gick på diskoteket Hvita Dufvan med The Who och åt middag med The Troggs. Han liftade med Tages till Stockholm och Hep Stars till Borås, bjöd hem Cat Stevens på hemmagjord pizza, lånade ut travar med Stax- och Tamla Motown-singlar till Clem Dalton som var importerad dj på Lisebergs Pop In Club och hängde på vartenda soundcheck när stjärnorna kom till stan. Journalisten och författaren Hans Sidén befann sig ständigt på första parkett under 60-talet när musikscenen exploderade i Göteborg. Hans fotografier är ett vibrerande vittnesmål om ett lika avlägset som förunderligt närvarande decennium. The Boy in the Paisley Shirt är hans historia sedd genom kameran.

<p>The long-awaited memoir by the superstar of stage, screen, recordings, and television </p><p>Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in the history of popular music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl on stage and winning the Oscar for that performance on film. Then came a long string of successes in every medium in the years that followed. The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming. She recounts her early struggles to become an actress, eventually turning to singing to earn a living; the recording of some of her acclaimed albums; the years of effort involved in making Yentl; her direction of The Prince of Tides; her friendships with figures ranging from Marlon Brando to Madeleine Albright; her political advocacy; and the fulfillment she's found in her marriage to James Brolin.</p><p>No entertainer's memoir has been more anticipated than Barbra Streisand's, and this engrossing and delightful book will be eagerly welcomed by her millions of fans. </p>
