Es sorprendente ver cómo un artefacto como el single, que nació para ser objeto de consumo en los 60, no sólo ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo sino que se ha convertido en uno de los más claros referentes de una era que sucumbió ante los encantos del pop y la moda juvenil. El disco de 7 pulgadas simboliza lo efímero, lo intrascendente, incluso lo barato y, sin embargo, tiene un encanto que no han sabido superar otras manifestaciones de cultura popular. El single fue el vehículo perfecto para la “globalización” del fenómeno beat, que apareció en Inglaterra a comienzos de la década y que, como una epidemia, se extendió por los cinco continentes. Alejandro Diez Garín, antes líder de Los Flechazos y ahora al frente de Cooper, desempolva su colección de discos y memorabilia sixties para ofrecernos 90 canciones imborrables. 90 porque es el doble de 45, y a 45 revoluciones por minuto giraban estos sencillos en tocadiscos de todo el globo. 90 porque los singles tienen dos lados y muchas veces era en la cara B donde los artistas podían esquivar la dictadura del éxito inmediato y desarrollar sus ideas más avanzadas en sonido y estilo. Este libro, repleto de anécdotas, detalles y evocadoras imágenes, es imprescindible para fanáticos de los sesenta y amantes de la música en general. Un apasionante viaje por los clubs, los estudios de grabación y las calles que frecuentaron los protagonistas de la explosión beat, los lugares y las canciones donde se esconden las auténticas raíces de la cultura pop.Singles que suenan en el Club 45:
