RIP Mary Quant. From this distance in time it probably seems fanciful to connect a 'mere' clothes designer with what turned out to be a major upheaval in social norms. Many factors were ingredients in what overturned the conservative ways of the 1950's - and Dame Mary's contribution was very significant. The V&A had (have?) a touring exhibition of her work, and last

Quoteds1984 The Rooftop Concert still sounds as an oddity to my ears. Can you explain that? To my ears it sounds like 4 very experienced players who genuinely enjoy playing live together doing it well and producing some good songs. I've watched it several times and I reckon I see mutual enjoyment and affection in what's going on on that rooftop.

We bought one as a wedding present to two Beatle Fan friends. The reproduction was carefully made so that the grooves in no way copied, or could be represented as being copied from the original. It did look good. Last time I saw the present it was

I went to the Brighton show, and indeed the only way for normal people get tickets was to queue all night outside a record shop that was nearby in Brighton's famous Lanes. The down side of that was that I missed seeing The Kinks who were in town that night. The up-side (other, than tickets of course) was that I was handed two posters - which are now more than averagely valuable. The Bri
