Bad penny blues by Cathi Unsworth Pdf

1959. Londres vit une période charnière entre les austères années d’après-guerre et les swinging sixties. Alors que l’extrême droite tente une percée en Angleterre, alimentée par le racisme contre les immigrés jamaïcains, l’émergence du pop art scandalise l’establishment artistique. Stella et Toby sont deux étudiants en art à qui tout semble sourire : ils sont jeunes, talentueux et bien décidés à marquer la prochaine décennie. Aussi quand un étrange cauchemar jette une ombre sur sa vie, Stella s’empresse de l’oublier. Mais quelques années plus tard, alors qu’elle est devenue une styliste en vue et Toby un peintre reconnu, les cauchemars recommencent. Des femmes sur le point de mourir lui envoient des appels au secours. Elle s’aperçoit avec horreur que les prostituées de ses visions ont véritablement été assassinées.Pete Bradley, jeune policier idéaliste et ambitieux au sein d’une équipe corrompue, enquête sur ces meurtres inexpliqués dont les ramifications semblent toucher tous les niveaux de la société londonienne. Les deux récits s’entrecroisent au rythme des chansons de l’époque, qui introduisent chaque chapitre.Fondé sur une affaire réelle et jamais élucidée qui défraya la chronique entre 1959 et 1965, Bad Penny Blues mêle réalité et fiction, action et fantasmes, pour peindre un tableau social, culturel et politique très vivant de l’Angleterre des années soixante. Un tableau également très noir duquel émerge une superbe héroïne qui voyage aux frontières de la mort.

Re-make/Re-model by Michael Bracewell Pdf

'Re-make/Re-model' tells the extraordinary and largely unknown story of the individuals and circumstances that would lead over a period of almost twenty years to the formation of Roxy Music - a group in which art, fashion and music would combine to create in the words of its inventor, Bryan Ferry, "above all, a state of mind". Written with the assistance, for the first time, of all of those involved, including Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera; the fashion designer Antony Price, the founding guru of Pop art, and Bryan Ferry's tutor, Richard Hamilton, and many more, 'Re-make/Re-model' is also the account of how Pop art, the avant garde underground of the 1960s, and the heady slipstream of London in the Sixties was transformed into the fashion cults of revivalism, nostalgia and pop futurism in the early 1970s.

The Beatles as Musicians by Walter Everett Pdf

Given the phenomenal fame and commercial success that the Beatles knew for the entire course of their familiar career, their music per se has received surprisingly little detailed attention. Not all of their cultural influence can be traced to tong hair and flashy clothing; the Beatles had numerous fresh ideas about melody, harmony, counterpoint, rhythm, form, colors, and textures. Or consider how much new ground was broken by their lyrics alone -- both the themes and imagery of the Beatles' poetry are key parts of what made (and still makes) this group so important, so popular, and so imitated. This book is a comprehensive chronological study of every aspect of the Fab Four's musical life -- including full examinations of composition, performance practice, recording, and historical context -- during their transcendent late period (1966-1970). Rich, authoritative interpretations are interwoven through a documentary study of many thousands of audio, print, and other sources.

Without the Moon by Cathi Unsworth Pdf

Hush, hush, hush Here comes the Bogeyman... London during the long, dark days of the Blitz: a city outwardly in ruins, weakened by exhaustion and rationing. But behind the blackout, the old way of life continues: in the music halls, pubs, and cafés, soldiers mix with petty crooks, stage magicians with lonely wives, scandal-hungry reporters with good-time girls — and DCI Edward Greenaway keeps a careful eye on everyone. But out on the streets, something nastier is stirring: London's prostitutes are being murdered, their bodies left mutilated to taunt the police. And in the shadows Greenaway's old adversaries in organized crime are active again, lured by rich pickings on the black market. As he follows a bloody trail through backstreets and boudoirs, Greenaway must use all his skill — and everything he knows about the city's underworld — to stop the slaughter. Based on real events, Without the Moon is an atmospheric and evocative historical crime novel demonstrating Unsworth's masterful grasp of the genre.

The London Boys by Marc Burrows Pdf

Rock 'n' Roll fanatics, mods, beat group wannabes, underground hippies, glam rock icons: David Bowie and Marc Bolan spent the first part of their careers following remarkably similar paths. From the day they met in 1965 as Davie Jones and Mark Feld, rock 'n' roll wannabes painting their manager's office in London’s Denmark Street, they would remain friends and rivals, each watching closely and learning from the other. In the years before they launched an unbeatable run of era-defining glam rock masterpieces at the charts, they were both just another face on the scene, meeting for coffee in Soho, hanging out at happenings and jamming in parks. Here, they are our guides through the decade that changed everything, as the gloom of post-war London exploded into the technicolor dream of the swinging sixties, a revolution in music, fashion, art and sexuality. Part dual-biography, part social history, part musical celebration of an era, The London Boys follows the British youth culture explosion through eyes of two remarkable young men on the front lines of history.

Tape's Rolling Take One by Adrian Kerridge Pdf

Adrian Kerridge has been part of the British recording industry for the past 50 years. His revolutionary and often forthright approach within the music industry has put him at the centre of the recording world for half a century. As owner of the eminent Lansdowne Studios - birth place of the Dave Clark Five, and home to numerous household name artists and session stories as well as the cofounding father of the CADAC console brand - he witnessed first-hand the technological changes of an industry transitioning from analogue tape to multi-track to digital recording and editing in the 80s and forwards; was a forerunner in the 60s of the then experimental practice of direct injection – now widely employed by sound engineers and laid the foundations for a more modern upfront sound that was lacking in the 50s and early 60s. Renown for creating unique sonic signature for bands and other recording artists, Adrian's approach to recording was unlike anything the industry had seen in the years previous. He recorded "hot" while his contemporaries were more conservative in their approach. This book traces his personal journey from war time Britain to the swinging 60s taking in the technical and social changes that were to shape the way music was recorded. It tells the story of a choir boy from West London who fell in love with Jazz and landed a job at a music shop. A chance invitation to sit in on a studio recording of the Sydney Lipton band sparked in Adrian an interest that was to put him on a path from choir boy to the foremost "Ears" in the business. Adrian describes how his first job at IBC London, one of the UK's largest independent recording studios at the time, led him to work with the legendary and sometimes volatile Joe Meek. Working with Joe gave Adrian crucial insights into the talented engineer's innovative techniques, which he describes in technical and personal detail, After a brief stint of National Service, Adrian returned to the recording industry but instead of resuming his old job at IBC he was offered a job alongside Joe Meek at a completely new London studio – Lansdowne Recording Studios – with producer Denis Preston, who ran his own Record Supervision jazz label. Adrian describes his experience of working with Joe and Denis, becoming responsible for his own sessions, and the studios' prolific output. He paints the picture of Joe's complex character, as well as his ground breaking and highly successful recording techniques. Joe's premature departure from Lansdowne meant Adrian suddenly found himself catapulted into the job of senior engineer and solely responsible for running the studios. It was during this time that Adrian, along with the Dave Clark Five, led the British "invasion" of the U.S. music scene in the 1960s pioneering new audio techniques using equipment considered primitive by today's standards. Adrian relates how in the early 1960s, the Dave Clark Five first came into the studio, and how his contribution to the band's development helped create their signature "Tottenham Sound". He provides unique insights into the recording of numerous hits such as "Glad All Over" which resulted in huge success for the band knocking the Beatles' song "I want to hold your hand" off the top of the U.K. charts in January 1964, going on to sell 2.5M copies. Nowadays you can get a number one with 10-20,000 copies. He describes his intriguing experiences in Germany and Belgium, recording material for the KPM Music Library and other music libraries.
