All You Need is Love: The Story of Popular Music (Complete)

Synopsis
All 17 episodes of Tony Palmer’s series, which looked in detail at popular music throughout the 20th century up until the mid 1970s. The series encompasses ragtime, blues, jazz, vaudeville, musicals, folk, swing, country and rock n’roll and features some of the major names from the 20th century, including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hendrix, Bing Crosby, Dizzy Gillespie, Muddy Waters, Frank Zappa, Mike Oldfield, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman and many more. Frequently described as "THE definitive music documentary" and regarded as much "cult" viewing today as it was upon original broadcast 30 years ago. The programme was originally broadcast between 1976 and 1981, but since that time it has not been commercially released or repeated.
