Description: If you can remember the Sixties, you weren't there. I've always thought that line, credited to any number of people, from Pete Townshend (of The Who) to American comedian, Robin Williams, was absolute nonsense. Of course most of us can remember it - but can we? A collection like this can evoke so many comments, I'd forgotten that row of shops, Did we really dress like that?, Just look at those cars!, Oh yes, I went to see Freddie and the Dreamers at the Hippodrome. Well, I bet now, with the aid of our book, you could fill a page with memories you've forgotten! With over 350 images we're happy to help you remember the Sixties - and, if you really weren't there, this is your chance to discover the Sixties.

    Description: Birmingham's Got Talent! Well, there can't be any question about that - a shopping centre that has always rivalled almost anywhere in existence, a manufacturing industry with a worldwide reputation andtheatres and cinemas in abundance. In this collection we have tried to show that, after the terribleevents of the forties, our city was busy replenishing and starting to flourish again - shops, factories and places of entertainment and, of course, the people. In the fifties shops played an enormous part in our lives as very few people had refrigerators and daily trips were a necessity. Politically the Conservatives held their ground from 1951 until 1964 when Labour came into its own. Musically the Beatles dominated the sixties and television finally burst into colour. So, there you are, in this, our 33rd Birmingham book, there are more wonderful items to enjoy. All proving, once and for all, that Birmingham has ALWAYS had talent!.

  • Waterstones Memories of the 'Sixties' Then and Now

    Price: £14.95

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: What is it that typifies the decade of the 1960s? Looking back, those of us who are old enough to have experienced those years will have their own special memories as to how that era changed our lives. The 'Sixties was a revolution of sorts; on the one hand we were living under the shadow of the Cold War, and the 'Hot' War in South-East Asia, while at the same time there were new-found freedoms, particularly for the music of the younger generation. Then, the weekly singles chart covering the sales of 45rpm records, played an important part in the chase to be No. 1. Before 1969 there was no official singles chart but several publications | ?? the New Musical Express which had the largest circulation | ?? Record Retailer, Melody Maker and Record Mirror all produced charts, and the BB Caggregated the results to announce its own Pick of The Pops chart. The most successful group of the decade was without question the Beatles who reached No. 1 spot with 17 singles, She Loves You becoming the best-selling record of the 1960s. In this book we will explore the salient features of each year from 1960 to 1969, illustrated in our usual theme of 'then and now' photographs.
