Dylan Jones' definitive oral history of The Velvet Underground
draws on contributions from remaining members, contemporaneous
musicians, critics, film-makers, and the generation of artists who
emerged in their wake, to celebrate not only their impact but their
legacy, which burns brighter than ever into the 21st century.
Rebellion always starts somewhere, and in the music world of the
transgressive teen whether it be the 1960s of the 2020s, The Velvet
Underground represent ground zero. Crystallizing the idea of the
bohemian, urban, narcissistic art school gang, around a psychedelic
rock and roll band - a stylistic idea that evolved in the rarefied
environs of Andy Warhol's Factory - The Velvets were the first
major American rock group with a mixed gender line-up; they never
smiled in photographs, wore sunglasses indoors, and in the process
invented the archetype that would be copied by everyone from Sid
Vicious to Bobby Gillespie. They were avant-garde nihilists,
writing about drug abuse, prostitution, paranoia, and
sado-masochistic sex at a time when the rest of the world was
singing about peace and love. In that sense they invented punk. It
could even be argued they invented modern New York. And then some.
Drawing on interviews and material relating to all major players
from Lou Reed, John Cale, Mo Tucker, Andy Warhol, Jon Savage, Nico,
David Bowie, Mary Harron and many more, award-winning journalist
Dylan Jones breaks down the band's whirlwind of subversion and, in
a narrative rich in drama and detail, with an irresistible
narrative pull, proves why The Velvets remain the original kings
and queens of edge.
The Eighties were about big ideas writ large - new money, new
style, gender fluidity, gay pride, attritional politics, the
'special relationship', nuclear fear, AIDS, cocaine, ecstasy,
tabloid royalty, the rise of urban pop, and ultimately geopolitical
chaos. Using a big narrative approach, Dylan Jones' history of the
decade in pop frames the decade through some of its most important
and popular hits, choosing records which either epitomised their
time, or ushered in a new cultural shift. So we move seamlessly
from Rapper's Delight and the genre defining moment of hip hop into
The Specials' spectral, Ghost Town; from ABC and the apotheosis of
New Pop (The Look of Love) to Madonna's breakthrough moment with
Like a Virgin, and so on. In the '80s each year brought a new twist
as technology shifted and genres snowballed, MTV reigned supreme
and the story of pop became globalised. It was a decade of excess
in all areas, especially ambition, but it was in the transcendent
moments of pop perfection that the '80s found its true art-form.
Subjective and idiosyncratic, SHINY AND NEW takes us from downtown
New York to post-industrial Manchester, in the first widescreen
attempt to weave together the stories, the songs and events that
re-shaped music and society.

The ultimate record of the work of a world-class photographer.
Capturing the iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous
and the notorious. "Terry was everywhere in the 60s - he knew
everything and everyone that was happening" Keith Richards "Terry
O'Neill rates rightly as one of the best photographers in the
world. He captures something special" Sir Michael Caine "When it
comes to photographic legends there can be few more prolific or
revered than Terry O'Neill, the man who shot the greats." VOGUE
"This sumptuous collection of portraits, taken over six decades,
represents the best of his memorable career and should grace every
coffee table in the land" The Daily Mail "I've been repeatedly
asked to write my autobiography - I have seen an awful lot of
famous people at their best and worst - but I'm not interested in
making money trading their secrets or mine. I want my pictures to
tell a story not sell a story." Terry O'Neill Terry O'Neill is one
of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No one
has captured the frontline of fame so broadly - and for so long.
For more than 50 years, he has photographed rock stars and
presidents, royals and movie stars, at work, at play, in private.
He pioneered backstage reportage photography with the likes of
Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Sir Elton John and Chuck Berry and his
work comprises a vital chronicle of rock and roll history. Now, for
the first time, an exhaustive cataloguing of his archive conducted
over the last three years has revisited more than 2 million
negatives and has unearthed unseen images that escaped the eye over
a career spanning 53 years. Similarly, his use of 35mm cameras on
film sets and the early pop music shows of the 60s opened up a new
visual art form using photojournalism, to revolutionise formal
portraiture. His work captured the iconic, candid, and unguarded
moments of the famous and the notorious - from Ava Gardner to Amy
Winehouse, from Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from the earliest
photographs of young emerging bands such as the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones to her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace. O'
Neill spent more than 30 years photographing Frank Sinatra,
amassing a unique archive of more than 3,000 Sinatra negatives. Add
to that the magazine covers, album sleeves, film poster and fashion
shoots of 1,000 stars, and Terry O'Neill - comprises the most
compelling and epic catalogue of the age of celebrity.
Do you want to be at the cutting edge of this dynamic and exciting
subject? This text delivers the latest research, current thinking
and practice, and looks at future trends, as well as covering new
topics such as effectuation, entrepreneurial opportunities and
habitual entrepreneurs'. This highly successful book provides a
comprehensive introduction to entrepreneurship, enterprise and
small business for the undergraduate and postgraduate student. With
over 30 specialist contributors from academic institutions in the
UK, Europe and the USA, this third edition - while building on the
foundations of the first and second - has been extensively revised
and updated.

A novel for young adults about friendship and loss – and all the
emotions involved such as grief, anger, longing and guilt. It tells
the story of Kai who is struggling to cope with what is happening
to his family. He is eventually helped by his friends, but are they
too late to save him? -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
Decades tend to crest halfway through, and 1995 was the year of the
Nineties: peak Britpop (Oasis v Blur), peak YBA (Tracey Emin's
tent), peak New Lad (when Nick Hornby published High Fidelity, when
James Brown's Loaded detonated the publishing industry, and when
pubs were finally allowed to stay open on a Sunday). It was the
year of The Bends, the year Danny Boyle started filming
Trainspotting, the year Richey Edwards went missing, the year Alex
Garland wrote The Beach, the year Blair changed Clause IV after a
controversial vote at the Labour Conference. Not only was the
mid-Nineties perhaps the last time that rock stars, music
journalists and pop consumers held onto a belief in rock's mystical
power, it was a period of huge cultural upheaval - in art,
literature, publishing and drugs. And it was a period of almost
unparalleled hedonism, a time when many people thought they
deserved to live the rock and roll lifestyle, when a generation of
narcotic omnivores thought they could all be rock stars just by
buying a magazine and a copy of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Faster Than a Cannonball is a cultural swipe of the decade from
loungecore to the rise of New Labour, teasing all the relevant
artistic strands through interviews with all the major protagonists
and exhaustive re-evaluations of the important records of the year

Statesman 'An absolute must-read' GQ One of the most creative
entrepreneurial periods since the Sixties, the era of the New
Romantics grew out of the remnants of post-punk and developed
quickly alongside club culture, ska, electronica, and goth. The
scene had a huge influence on the growth of print and broadcast
media, and was arguably one of the most bohemian environments of
the late twentieth century. Not only did it visually define the
decade, it was the catalyst for the Second British Invasion, when
the US charts would be colonised by British pop music - making it
one of the most powerful cultural exports since the Beatles. In
Sweet Dreams, Dylan Jones charts the rise of the New Romantics
through testimony from the people who lived it. For a while, Sweet
Dreams were made of this.

David Bailey flew to Afghanistan earlier this year to take
photographs for auction to raise money for `Help for Heroes', a
charity that aims to help wounded servicemen and women returning
from Afghanistan. The result is his latest book of photographs, a
fitting celebration of Britain's fighting heroes, showing life
inside both inside Camp Bastion and also outside the perimeter,
where real danger is ever-present. Dylan Jones, editor of GQ, who
accompanied Bailey on the trip, provides a well informed and
engaging foreword on life in the camp. All sales of this book will
benefit `Help for Heroes'.

'It's just another song to me. I've written 1,000 of them and it's
really just another one.' Jimmy Webb
'When I heard it I cried. It made me cry because I was homesick. It's
just a masterfully written song.' Glen Campbell
The sound of 'Wichita Lineman' was the sound of ecstatic solitude, but
then its hero was the quintessential loner. What a great metaphor he
was: a man who needed a woman more than he actually wanted her.
Written in 1968 by Jimmy Webb, 'Wichita Lineman' is the first
philosophical country song: a heartbreaking torch ballad still
celebrated for its mercurial songwriting genius fifty years later. It
was recorded by Glen Campbell in LA with a legendary group of musicians
known as 'the Wrecking Crew', and something about the song's enigmatic
mood seemed to capture the tensions in America at a moment of crisis.
Fusing a dribble of bass, searing strings, tremolo guitar and
Campbell's plaintive vocals, Webb's paean to the American West
describes a telephone lineman's longing for an absent lover, who he
hears 'singing in the wire' - and like all good love songs, it's an SOS
from the heart.
Mixing close-listening, interviews and travelogue, Dylan Jones explores
the legacy of a record that has entertained and haunted millions for
over half a century. What is it about this song that continues to
seduce listeners, and how did the parallel stories of Campbell and Webb
- songwriters and recording artists from different ends of the spectrum
- unfold in the decades following? Part biography, part work of
musicological archaeology, The Wichita Lineman opens a window on to
America in the late-twentieth century through the prism of a song that
has been covered by myriad artists in the intervening decades.
'Americana in the truest sense: evocative and real.' Bob Stanley
Combining the unique heritage of gentlemen s tailoring with a
progressive approach to street style, London is fast becoming the
world s capital of men s fashion. For this book, Dylan Jones
presents a discerning sartorialist s guide to the capital, from
London s coolest neighbourhoods to the studios of its most
influential designers and beyond. Beginning with an exploration of
London s chicest urban villages, the book reflects the
extraordinary eclecticism of the city s street style from
envelope-pushing streetwear in Shoreditch to classic tailoring in
Mayfair. Forays into the coolest and hardest-to-find menswear shops
in the city at once reveal the sources of the fashions on display
and capture the atmosphere of the capital. At the heart of the book
are profiles of London s top designers from world renowned brands
to up-and-coming names, these are the designers whose work is
shaping the future of menswear. Legends such as Paul Smith and
Vivienne Westwood, whose flair for subversion colors their
refinement, sit alongside younger designers such as Christopher
Shannon and Agi and Sam, pioneers of bringing graphics and pattern
to luxury streetwear. Icons of classic elegance such as Tom Ford
and Burberry contrast with a new generation of designers, from
Nigel Cabourn to Mr. Hare, whose redefined silhouettes and
innovative materials take the traditions of Savile Row into the new
millennium.
Just who does David Cameron think he is? In an engaging series of
landmark interviews that will define the would-be prime minister
ahead of the next election, Dylan Jones finds out. David Cameron is
asking you for the keys to Number 10 - but is he a smartly dressed
smoothie with all the right lines, or a gifted politician who
instinctively understands the country's priorities? A throwback to
the age when privilege brought power, or a dynamic alternative to a
Labour Party that has run out of ideas? Award-winning journalist
Dylan Jones set out to answer these questions in a series of
wide-ranging and candid interviews that will define David Cameron
ahead of the next election - and for years to come. A book about a
politician for people who don't buy books about politicians,
'Cameron on Cameron' will, for many, settle the question of whether
David Cameron has got what it takes to lead the country. What
Cameron thinks may soon become what Britain does - and Jones teases
out the details of Cameron's positions on the big issues. From the
Iraq war to our friendship with America, from education to
immigration, 'Cameron on Cameron' will make for an unprecendented
view into a politician's world and a document of practical use in
our democracy. From the Conservative Party's bouts of vicious
internal backstabbing to Cameron's marriage to Samantha and their
family life - 'Cameron on Cameron' lays bare the forces which shape
the man who may succeed Gordon Brown before the decade is out.

TIMES BESTSELLER A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE
YEAR A HERALD BOOK OF THE YEAR AN IRISH INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE
YEAR 'The definitive book on Bowie' The Times Drawn from a series
of conversations between David Bowie and Dylan Jones across three
decades, together with over 180 interviews with friends, rivals,
lovers, and collaborators - some of whom have never before spoken
about their relationship with Bowie - this oral history is an
intimate portrait of a remarkable rise to stardom and one of the
most fascinating lives of our time. Profoundly shaped by his
relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry, Bowie was a
man of intense relationships that often came to abrupt ends. He was
a social creature, equally comfortable partying with John Lennon
and dining with Frank Sinatra, and in Dylan Jones's telling - by
turns insightful and salacious - we see as intimate a portrait as
could possibly be drawn. Including illuminating, never-before-seen
material from Bowie himself, drawn from a series of Jones's
interviews with him across three decades, DAVID BOWIE is an epic,
unforgettable cocktail-party conversation about a man whose
enigmatic shapeshifting and irrepressible creativity produced one
of the most sprawling, fascinating lives of our time. ***NOW

The King departed this world during the month of punk Rock's
apotheosis. Punk had set out to destroy Elvis, or at least
everything he came to represent, but never got the chance. Elvis
destroyed himself before anyone else could. Nearly forty years
after his death, Rock's ultimate legend and prototype just won't go
away and his influence and legacy are to be found not just in music
today, but the world over. Elvis Presley has permeated the modern
world in ways that are bizarre and inexplicable: a pop icon while
he was alive, he has become almost a religious icon in death, a
modern-day martyr crucified on the wheel of drugs, celebrity
culture, junk food and sex. In Elvis Has Left the Building, Dylan
Jones takes us back to those heady days around the time of his
death and the rise of punk. He evokes the hysteria and devotion of
The King's numerous disciples and imitators, offering a uniquely
insightful commentary on Elvis's life, times and outrageous demise.
This is a fresh account, written with the authors customary
panache, recounting how Elvis single-handedly changed the course of
popular music and culture, and what his death meant and still means
to us today.
'A wholly successful endeavour carried along by waves of infectious
enthusiasm' Mojo 'Fascinating' New Statesman The '80s were about
big ideas writ large - new money, new style, gender fluidity, gay
pride, attritional politics, the 'special relationship', nuclear

decade in pop frames the '80s through some of its most important

from 'Rapper's Delight' and the genre defining moment of hip hop

___________________ 6 JULY, 1972 David Bowie appears on Top of the
Pops for a third time. His quiff is big, bold, and the colour of
fire. His make-up is lavish. His jumpsuit is a wild burst of
colourful patterns, like a fluorescent fish skin. He carries a
brand-new blue acoustic guitar. There's excitement, mixed with
incredulity. And then he begins to play. It's a moment that will
change the world of music forever. This is Ziggy Stardust, what
would become Bowie's most famous persona. It's an instant seismic
shift in the zeitgeist. This one performance embeds Ziggy Stardust
into the nation's consciousness, and music will never be the same
again. In When Ziggy Played Guitar, Dylan Jones looks back at one
of the most influential moments in pop history,the birth of an
icon, and the myriad unexpected ways that David Bowie reshaped pop
culture.
