Publisher's Synopsis

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE LONG SIXTIES
For those of you unfortunates who did not live during the time of The Long Sixties described so eloquently in this memoir, all you need do is read it, and do not doubt that these magical things really did happen.
Mim Scala recounts his charmed life, it's inhabitants and experiences in a succinct manner, neither embellishing nor exaggerating.
Yes, Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll go together; Scala uses a delicate and dare say, gentlemanly writing style that describes just enough of the hedonism without being garish or crude.
The uninitiated may doubt some of the more "far out", magical times he recalls so well, but believe me, if you have not delved into that realm, you have no alternative other than to know that it happened, and be sorry you missed it.
This book should be required reading for any student of history. It is that good.

PUNCH MAGAZINE REVIEW"There have been a lot of books about the Sixties but very few have captured the excitement and uniqueness of the period. The best two, The best two, so far, are Mim's book and Stoned by the Rolling Stones first manager Andrew Loog Oldham. You had to be there to appreciate the best decade of the 20th. century"
