Product Description
Product Description
Recording Top of the Pops every Thursday night using a tape recorder with a tiny microphone balanced in front of the TV, and wondering what it 'meant' if your friend's brother said hello once on the school bus all seems hilarious in an age of MTV and The Jerry Springer Show. But this was the seventies, and Jackie magazine, with its combination of breathless pop news and teen advice, was an unforgettable part of it. Opening Jackie: The Seventies is like being given a ticket to travel back in time. Hilarious, nostalgic and utterly compulsive, it transports you straight back to a world where midi skirts were all the rage, Donny Osmond and David Cassidy split the nation and Cathy and Claire were the only voice of reason.

This is a gorgeous wallow in nostalgia for any girl who grew up in the 70s. The funky fashions, the silly quizzes, quirky recipes, clever ways of revamping your bedroom and clothes, the wise agony aunts Cathy and Claire and most of all the guys who made our hearts race - David (Cassidy and Essex), Donny, Bay City Rollers etc. are all here. Lovely book

Ok, so I wasn't alive in the 70s but, in common with several other reviewers on here, I found much to like about this charming trip down memory lane. Perhaps due to a childhood filled with my parents' rose-tinted anecdotes about the decades in which they grew up (the 60s and 70s) I have always been attracted to all things related that era. I was therefore immediately drawn to this eye catching book while out shopping recently. It did not disappoint- the pages are packed and I discover something new each time I open it. Both hilarious and intriguing, this kept the whole family (including those who could actually remember, as the blurb says, "reading it under a desk on wednesday mornings")amused for hours on end.
Lovely. Now if someone could just build me a time machine...
