197143042New York: Yippy 1971. First Edition. Original machine lithographed poster in colors 72cm x 58cm ca 28-1/2" x 22-1/2". A few minor edge-creases but a bright unfaded unworn example Near Fine A-. Unbacked. Rather early poster commission by the artist and art-world provocateur Robert Cenedella. Cenedella is perhaps best known for his 2018 lawsuit against five American art museums in which he alleges that museums and private gallerists have been co-conspirators in denying certain artists -- including himself -- mainstream success. The current design delightfully unironic reproduces the insignia of the United Nations in day-glo colors with psychedelic typography at lower 1/3 of image. Apparently uncommon; we find no catalogued examples in OCLC; not in the on-line catalog of the OAC. Yippy unknown books

An incredible compilation of music lyrics and guitar chords for about 200 songs selected to highlight "the major trends in the Rock movement from its beginnings in the mid fifties to the current progressive sound. Volume I traces early Rock 'n' Roll from the songs of Elvis Presley and Little Richard through the Folk Rock movement of Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot up to the emergence of the Beatles in the late sixties as the dominant force in Rock music. Volume II spans the period from the Beatles trend-setting 'Sgt. Pepper' album into the Hard Rock of the Led Zeppelin heavy metal sound and through the rapid evolution of Soft Folk Jazz and Country Rock of the seventies to the current Disco beat." Although there's a copyright disclaimer about the "many songs we could not use" it definitely includes a lot of milestones including no fewer than 32 Beatles tunes. The selections in Volume I are divided into three sections: Early Rock n' Roll Elvis Little Richard Sam Cooke Bill Haley etc.; Folk Rock - the 60's Bob Dyan Peter Paul & Mary Joni Mitchell etc.; and Rock n' Roll 1960's dominated by The Beatles and The Bee Gees. Volume II contains: Rock - 60's/70's more Beatles & Bee Gees also The Who The Rolling Stone Elton John and others; Soft & Folk Rock - 1970's Neil Young Jackson Browne Linda Ronstadt Cat Stevens etc.; Hard Rock Deep Purple Led Zeppelin Alice Cooper; Country Rock the Allman Brothers the Eagles; Progressive & Jazz Rock Joni Mitchell Yes; and last AND least Disco Rock the Staples Singers the Average White Band and the return of the Bee Gees!. I've cited the big names of course but there are plenty of lesser lights here too and even a few mysteries does "Tom Cat" by Tom Scott & the L.A. Express ring a bell with anybody.
