The 60's were alive to the sounds of surf, beat, soul, country and psychedelia.

From the Town Hall to the local pub; from 6 O'Clock Rock to Kommotion these sounds needed amplification and Rose Morris & Co (Australia) Pty Ltd created Goldentone Amplifiers for just that need.

This is the story of an Australian music icon; our own Fender and Vox.

The huge range included over 56 models covering everything from suitcase amplifiers to piggy backs. As you will see these were not knock offs of overseas models but unique designs in their own right with their own visual and sonic character.

This book provides the first complete reference for these musical icons including 100's of colour and black and white photographs; copies of all the known catalogues and a large range of circuit diagrams for these unique amplifiers.
