View Rights PortalThis book examines the birth of punk in the UK and its transformation, within a short period of time, into post-punk. Deploying innovative concepts of 'critical mass', 'social networks' and 'music worlds', and using sophisticated techniques of 'social network analysis', it teases out the events and mechanisms involved in punk's 'micro-mobilisation', its diffusion across the UK and its transformation in certain city-based strongholds into a variety of interlocking post-punk forms. Nick Crossley offers a detailed review of prior work in this area, a rich exploration of new empirical data and a highly innovative and robust approach to the study of 'music worlds'. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in either UK punk and post-punk or the impact of social networks on cultural life and the potential of social network analysis to explore this impact. ;
The second volume of this highly collectable series, covering the pivotal years of 1969-70. The Island Book of Records Volume II documents the years 1969-70, during which Island sought to build on its success with the Spencer Davis Group by seeking out new British rock talent. By the end of the period, Island was emerging as a major British label, one that could boast releases from Jethro Tull, Nick Drake, King Crimson, John and Beverley Martyn, Fairport Convention and Cat Stevens. Featuring material from recent interviews and from media interviews of the time, and including a comprehensive discography of 45s, The Island Book of Records Volume II is lavishly illustrated with gig adverts (very many at venues that no longer exist), concert tickets, flyers, international LP variants, labels, LP and 45 adverts and other ephemera collector's dream.

Fiona hingegen hat mit Gewalt nicht wirklich ein Problem und geht dabei effektiv und ziemlich robust vor. Fiona und Bill sind das ideale Liebespaar. Als sich Bill von einem New Yorker Gangster-Syndikat ein paar Millionen »borgt«, was er wohl lieber hätte bleiben lassen sollen, müssen die beiden fliehen wie weiland Bonnie & Clyde. Die rasante Jagd führt durch die amerikanischen Provinzen, wo irre Sheriffs lauern, in die Karibik, wo man sich nicht auch nur eine Sekunde lang sicher fühlen darf, und zurück nach New York City, wo schon die richtig harten Jungs vom Mob auf die beiden warten, die sich einmal mehr fragen müssen, wie sie aus dieser Nummer wieder rauskommen ...
