Changing times

Novo, com leve amarelado provocado pelo tempo. Em inglês. The 1960S - a heady explosion of colour and sound and creativity the like of which our flabbergasted and frequently outraged parents had never seen. Do you remember What about Ready Steady Go, Honey magazine, Horace Bachelor on Radio Luxembourg, and going to work on an egg Did you wear individual false eyelashes and white lipstick Ride a Lambretta or a Norton Did you long for a mini car or a mini skirt Did Biba and Bazar become your mecca Did you Double your Money or thrill to Armchair Theatre Were you glued to Steptoe and Son or That Was The Week That Was Did you read Oz, Time Out, Kerouac and Sartre Did Saturday night mean Antonioni or Alfie Did your Dansette play Dylan or Donovan or The Dead or The Doors Where were you when the Beatles first became popular, and everything changed - when the youthquake hit If you are immediately struck by these allusions,or incensed by the omission of your sixties moments, then you are undoubtedly a baby boomer who lived, loved and laughed your way through adolescence to adulthood in Britain in the 1960s. In changing times, Alison Pressley has collected more reminiscences from those innocent children who grew up in 1950s Britain in the best of times, and hit their teens and twenties in the changing times that were the 1960s. Celebrated sixties people Tariq Ali, Julian Barnes, Gyles Brandreth, Richard Branson, Maureen Cleave, Ray Connolly, Hunter Davies, Tony Elliott, Patricia Hodge, Barbara Hulanicki, the Jay twins, Robert Lacey, Twiggy Lawson, Joanna Lumley, Richard Neville, Philip Norman, Libby Purves and Ed Straw contributed their memorable, magical moments to Alisons sister, Valerie Grove. As we share the days theyll remember all their lives in funny, poignant, sometimes sad vignettes, anyone who was there will remember when, for us, those times changed everything for ever - and for better. Wonderful, original images illustrate this portrait of a decade, from the twilight of the fifties through the psychedelic sixties to the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Those were the days we thought would never end. They were fab!
