Fantastic !! A Bloody good book, 9 April 2002
By A Customer
What do you get when you buy "The Art of the Nasty"?
A Visual depiction of a time when we could think for ourselves as well as censor our own tastes , a time when the faceless bureaucrats suddenly decided that we weren't adult or responsible enough to think for ourselves .
Are any of these films or covers really that bad , did these films cause people to commit acts of violence and abuse ,I think not!!In a nutshell this book covers brief accounts of the '39 Official Nasties' as well as 34 more that were prosecuted by the DPP(failed to get convictions)as well as a couple of hundred choice covers from a bygone era Looking at this artwork one begs the questions "What do I prefer? , the bland , sterile artwork and covers from todays films or the visceral , in your face , sometimes naff sometimes brilliant covers of pre 1984 VRA films. If these films really do contain such shocking scenes then what is anyone under the age of 18 doing watching them in the first place. I have seen far worse scenes of violence and abuse watching the news on terrestrial TV, where is that censorship?? The Art of the Nasty -Those were the days my friend
