4.0 out of 5 stars Blast from the past, 24 Nov 2010
This review is from: New Romantics: The Look (Paperback)
Nice to see so many people I knew - Gay John, Patti and Jane (Kahn and Bell), George (Boy) and the luvliest cloakroom attendant Marilyn. Also Martin Degville (YaYa + Sigue Sigue Spuntnik). Books very good from a person who was in the know at the time, great pics and wonderful to see people doing their own thing instead of being sheep. And if we dressed as sheep that was our own business.

Great to see a revival in synth music and the clothes again - the 80's influence is everywhere.

Bring back the Blitz, Billys and others. Still we have Only After Dark in Birmingham UK currently and there is a fresh revival in the UK.

This book says everything you should know about this marvelous time.I also recommend "take it like a man" by Boy George as a complementary reading for this topic.
