At the end of 1966, the newly energized British Pop Scene exploded in a burst of sound, color and sensory stimulation ...the dull gray streets of London would never be the same. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd provided the soundtrack; Carnaby Street and the Kings Road provided the costumes; ...and Michael English and Nigel Waymouth, collectively known as "Hapshash and the Coloured Coat", provided the backdrops and the posters. Over the period of a year and a half, Hapshash's 33 posters not only captured the essence of the British Scene but came to epitomize it.
