N2  - The pop world accelerated and broke through the sound barrier in 1966. In America, in London, in Amsterdam, in Paris, revolutionary ideas slow-cooking since the late '50s reached boiling point. In the worlds of pop, pop art, fashion and radical politics, the 'Sixties' hit their Modernist peak. A unique chemistry of ideas, substances, freedom of expression and dialogue across pop cultural continents created a landscape of immense and eventually shattering creativity. After 1966 nothing in the pop world would ever be the same. It was the year in which the ever lasting and transient pop moment would burst forth in its most articulate, instinctive, and radical way. Jon Savage's '1966' is a monument to the year that shaped the pop future of the balance of the century
