The Story of The Face: The Magazine that Changed Culture
The Magazine That Changed Culture
Paul Gorman
Launched by NME editor and Smash Hits creator Nick Logan in 1980, The Face became an icon of "style culture," the benchmark for the latest trends in art, design, fashion, photography, film, and music being defined by a thriving youth culture. The Story of The Face tracks the exciting highs and calamitous lows of the life of the magazine in two parts. Part one focuses on the rise of the magazine in the 1980s, highlighting its striking visual identity--embodied by Neville Brody's era-defining graphic designs, Nick Knight's dramatic fashion photography, and the "Buffalo" styling of Ray Petr-- and its unflinching approach to journalism. Contributors included a host of writers who subsequently made their impact in the wider world, from Julie Burchill, Robert Elms, Tony Parsons, and James Truman to Jon Savage, Richard Benson, and Sheryl Garratt. Part two shows how in the 1990s, after surviving a disastrous Jason Donovan libel suit, the magazine heralded the post-acid house era of Britpop and Brit Art. However, after the magazine had become the engine of the booming British magazine industry, the end of this decade also saw the eventual demise of The Face. Including an introduction by Dylan Jones, The Story of The Face is an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of one of the 80s and 90s' most influential music and style publications. -
An Old School Record Collector Disc-usses 33 & 45 RPM. Visiting 100s of Record Shops from Old England to New Zealand, Gathering 3259 LPs, 647 Singles & 2386 CDs En Route How one man's desire to acquire ever more vinyl records saw him visit ever more record shops all over the world, from Old Christchurch to New Zealand, while affecting, educating, enhancing, enriching, exasperating, frustrating, impoverishing himself and those around him en route. A revival of interest in vinyl music has taken place in recent years - but for many of those from the 'baby boomer' generation, who made their acquaintance with the music of their youth in this way, it never went away... Graham Sharpe is a high-profile veteran of the betting industry with 45 years service of bookies William Hill to his credit - but he also boasts of being a vinyl record veteran with well over 50 years service as a serious 45 and 33rpm collector. When he was promoting William Hill as their Media Relations Director, Graham would relax by visiting every record shop he could find, from London to New Zealand, to feed his voracious vinyl appetite, scorning and spurning to this day, advice that Spotify, downloading, streaming, were the way to go. His life has been played out to a background of personally significant vinyl-related events and his own large and ever-growing collection of LPs not only reflects his muscial addiction, but also represents an intensely direct link to many of his key experiences. In this unique book he considers all the elements of record collecting which he loves - and one or two he doesn't - as he continues his long-term project to visit every surviving secondhand record shop in his own and other countries, and reports on the many characters he has encountered, and the adventures he has accrued along the way.

Red Machine: Liverpool FC in the '80s: The Players' Stories
Liverpool FC in the '80s: The Players' Stories
Simon Hughes
During the 1980s, Liverpool Football Club dominated English soccer, winning six league titles, two European Cups, two FA Cups, and four League Cups. In Red Machine, Simon Hughes interviews some of the most colorful characters to have played for the club during that period. The resulting interviews, set against the historical backdrop of both the club and the city, provide a vivid portrait of life at Liverpool during an era when the club’s unparalleled on-pitch success often went hand in hand with a boozy social scene fraught with rows, fights, and wind-ups. The players featured here include John Barnes, Bruce Grobbelaar, Howard Gayle, Michael Robinson, John Wark, Kevin Sheedy, Nigel Spackman, Steve Staunton, David Hodgson, and Craig Johnston, as well as first-team coach Ronnie Moran. Their candid, ribald, and sometimes scathing recollections provide an antidote to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today’s players, and combine to offer a unique insight to this exciting time in the club’s history. -
Following the success of Simon Hughes’ Red Machine and Men in White Suits, books which depicted Liverpool FC’s domination during the 1980s and its subsequent fall in the 1990s, Ring of Fire focuses on the 2000s and the primary characters who propelled Liverpool to the forefront of European football once again. With a foreword by Steven Gerrard, this is the third edition in a bestselling series based on revealing interviews with former players, coaches and managers. For Liverpool FC, entry into the 21st century began with modernisation and trophies under manager Gérard Houllier and development was then underpinned by improbable Champions League glory under Rafael Benítez. Yet that is only half of the story. The decade ended with the club being on the verge of administration after the shambolic reign of American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett.In Ring of Fire, Hughes’ interviewees – including Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso and Michael Owen – take you through Melwood’s training ground gates and into the inner sanctum, the Liverpool dressing room. Each person delivers fascinating insights into the minds of the players, coaches and boardroom members as they talk frankly about exhilarating highs and excruciating lows, from winning cups in Cardiff and Istanbul to the political infighting that undermined a succession of managerial reigns.Ring of Fire tells the real stories: those never told before by the key players who lived through it all.

Radio Birdman: Retaliate first
Retaliate first: How one band smashed the rules of Australian rock and roll
Murray Engleheart
The first-ever in-depth biography of iconoclastic Sydney punk band Radio Birdman. Sydney's legendary Radio Birdman were a stake through the satin and scarfed hearts of the early seventies' music scene, revolutionising the conservative Australian industry in the process. Regarded as one of the earliest punk bands of the seventies - before the world had heard of the Sex Pistols or The Saints - Radio Birdman were feared and loathed by many, but adored by fiercely loyal fans. Tales of Radio Birdman will be handed down through generations. Singer Rob Younger drinking from a human skull filled with sheep brains; fans unknowingly breaking limbs while dancing wildly at gigs; fighting venue bouncers with microphone stands, and having publicans cut the power in a desperate bid to halt their force-of-nature-like performances. Their riotous appearance at Paddington Town Hall in December 1977 drew an overflowing crowd of thousands, eclipsing the audience for AC/DC's triumphant return to Sydney after the Youngs had conquered Europe a year earlier. While Birdman split after a disastrous UK and European tour in 1978, hunger for a reunion grew by the day, and their eventual regrouping was met with wild acclaim. In a series of electrifying shows at the 1996 Big Day Out, they overshadowed the likes of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Rage Against the Machine and The Prodigy. Birdman continued to play sell-out gigs to devoted crowds both in Australia and across the globe. In 2007, the group were inducted into the ARIA Australian Music Hall of Fame. With 2024 marking their half century of existence, Radio Birdman are internationally worshipped, their mysterious logo - once a sign of a secret society around a little-known rock group from Sydney - now proudly emblazoned on skin all over the planet. The Radio Birdman story is one of inspiration, confrontation and commitment, as well as the creation of a subculture that continues to this day. However, their story has never been told - in depth - until now. Engleheart's Radio Birdman: Retaliate First is drawn from more than 130 interviews with the band members, their closest associates and fans. -
Australiaaes Boldest Experiment: War and Reconstruction in the 1940s
War and Reconstruction in the 1940s
Stuart Macintyre
In this landmark book, Stuart Macintyre explains how a country traumatized by World War I, hammered by the Depression and overstretched by World War II became a prosperous, successful and growing society by the 1950s. An extraordinary group of individuals, notably John Curtin, Ben Chifley, Nugget Coombs, John Dedman and Robert Menzies, remade the country, planning its reconstruction against a background of wartime sacrifice and austerity. This book shows the 1940s to be a pivotal decade in Australia. At the height of his powers, Macintyre reminds us that key components of the society we take for granted - work, welfare, health, education, immigration, housing - are not the result of military endeavor but policy, planning, politics and popular resolve. -

Drawing on interviews with those most closely involved, as well as court files, police notes, military intelligence reports, IRA strategy papers, memoirs and government records, this is a unique perspective on the Troubles, and a revelatory work of investigative journalism. -
It's all about the scratch in Groove Music, award-winning music historian Mark Katz's groundbreaking book about the figure that defined hip-hop: the DJ. Today hip-hop is a global phenomenon, and the sight and sound of DJs mixing and scratching is familiar in every corner of the world. But hip-hop was born in the streets of New York in the 1970s when a handful of teenagers started experimenting with spinning vinyl records on turntables in new ways. Although rapping has become the face of hip-hop, for nearly 40 years the DJ has proven the backbone of the culture. In Groove Music, Katz (an amateur DJ himself) delves into the fascinating world of the DJ, tracing the art of the turntable from its humble beginnings in the Bronx in the 1970s to its meteoric rise to global phenomenon today. Based on extensive interviews with practicing DJs, historical research, and his own personal experience, Katz presents a history of hip-hop from the point of view of the people who invented the genre.Here, DJs step up to discuss a wide range of topics, including the transformation of the turntable from a playback device to an instrument in its own right, the highly charged competitive DJ battles, the game-changing introduction of digital technology, and the complex politics of race and gender in the DJ scene. Exhaustively researched and written with all the verve and energy of hip-hop itself, Groove Music will delight experienced or aspiring DJs, hip-hop fans, and all students or scholars of popular music and culture.
