The little-known success story of four working class girls who formed 'the female Beatles' in 1960s Liverpool

'In Liverpool everybody wanted to be in a band. On every street corner and in every cellar there were young fellas practising with guitars. But it was rare to see any girls on the new Merseybeat scene. It was inevitable that we would find each other . . .' In the early '60s, four friends from Liverpool formed a band. But this is not the 'fab four' story we know. Mary, Sylvia, Valerie and Pamela - also known as The Liverbirds - were one of the world's first all-female rock'n'roll bands. At an early gig, backstage at the Cavern Club, a young John Lennon told them that 'girls don't play guitars'. But they took that as a challenge. Despite the early scepticism, they won over tough crowds, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums, and played with the Kinks, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry - all in the space of just five years. Now, the two surviving members of the band tell their incredible story in full for the first time - capturing a lost era of liberation and rock'n'roll, as they thrived in the vibrant Merseybeat music scene and formed a friendship that has endured through the decades. * 'A ton of Liverpudlian grit, good sense and wry humour.' - Daily Mail 'Warm and vivid . . . Stories like this one are vital to keep.' - Telegraph 'A powerful story, one that dances to its own distinctive beat.' - The Sunday Times

Schriftenreihe des Hamburgischen Architekturarchivs

Wie könnte Hamburg aussehen, wenn ... Das Buch liefert eine Übersicht über Projekte in Hamburg, die tatsächlich geplant waren, aber dann doch nicht gebaut wurden, aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen. Es ist der lang erwartete Nachfolgeband des legendären Titels von 1991 der Hambur­gischen Architektenkammer, der vertane Chancen und Umstrittenes der letzten Jahrzehnte thematisiert. Ausgewählt wurden 32 Projekte, die stellvertretend für den jeweiligen Geist der Zeit stehen. Dazu gehören spektakuläre Beispiele wie Hochhäuser in der HafenCity, der Transrapid oder die Seilbahn über die Elbe oder das Parkhaus unter der Binnenalster. Gezeigt werden aber auch große städtebauliche Vorhaben wie die Stadtautobahnen, die Sportanlagen für Olympia, die Verlagerung der Universität in den Hafen oder Vorschläge für einen Totalabriss von St.¿Pauli und Ottensen. Die 15¿¿Autor:innen stimmen in ihren kurzweiligen, reich bebilderten Texten in den Geist der jeweiligen Planungszeit ein, betrachten die Dinge aber auch aus heutiger Sicht - nicht wenige Ideen haben ihre Aktua­lität bewahrt, bei anderen gilt: Nicht zu bauen kann eine Tugend sein. Insgesamt ist das Buch ein erfrischender und spannender Blick auf die Entwicklung der Stadt Hamburg, wie sie hätte sein können.

Das ungebaute Hamburg

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment group and a control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

»Das Gute an Klaus ist, dass er - anders als so viele andere - tatsächlich dabei war.« Sir Paul McCartney Klaus Voormann war einer der gefragtesten Bassisten in den 60er- und 70er-Jahren. Er hatte Hits als Mitglied der Band von Manfred Mann, war zusammen mit Eric Clapton und Alan White Gründungsmitglied von »John Lennons Plastic Ono Band« und entwarf legendäre Plattencover wie »Revolver« von den Beatles. Aber vor allem war und ist Voormann seit über 65 Jahren ein enger Weggefährte der Liverpooler Band. Er hat John, Paul, George und Ringo, seit sie in Hamburg 1960 Freunde wurden, regelmäßig getroffen und enge persönliche und professionelle Kontakte gepflegt. Von dieser außergewöhnlichen Karriere und Freundschaft erzählt sein Buch. Über zwanzig Jahre nach ihrem ersten Erscheinen ist die Nachfrage nach dieser aussergewöhnliche Autobiografie des »5. Beatles« bei Fans und Musikinteressierten immer noch ungebrochen groß , nicht nur aufgrund des Revivals, das die Fab Four zur Zeit über die Generationen hinweg erleben. Ein neues Vorwort des Autors und bislang unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial machen diese Wiederentdeckung zu einem must have für alle Fans. Die einmalige limitierte Luxusausgabe: Für Liebhaber und Sammler als edel ausgestattetes Hardcover im Schmuckschuber – numeriert und vom Künstler signiert, mit Lesebändchen und einem beigelegten exklusiven Kunstdruck. Ausstattung: mit zahlreichen s/w-Abbildungen

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Lo hemos pasado en grande siendo Swifties, y ahora, esa historia —llena de felicidad, amistad, conexión, payasadas y canciones cantadas a pleno pulmón —está documentada en este tributo a la comunidad de fans y la razón por la que estamos todos aquí, Taylor Swift. Todos sabemos cómo empezó: una adolescente de Pensilvania que se mudó a Nashville y pronto ascendió hasta la cima de las listas de música country. Aquí es donde comenzó la historia de Taylor Swift en 2006, pero también es donde empezó nuestra historia como Swifties. Nuestra historia es un emotivo viaje a través de la historia Swiftie, que muestra la evolución de una comunidad de fans que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Narrado a través de la lente de las experiencias personales, este libro es una crónica del auge de una comunidad que se ha mantenido ferozmente leal en cada etapa. Desde llamar a las emisoras de radio para pedir Tim McGraw, hasta momentos inolvidables en Tumblr en los que Taylor y los fans parecían un grupo de amigos y sobrevivir a una guerra con Ticketmaster —hemos estado ahí. Hemos aprendido lecciones vitales, intercambiado pulseras de la amistad, dominado las matemáticas de los husos horarios para conectarnos a directos, y creado un lenguaje que tan solo otro Swiftie —o la propia Taylor— puede entender. Pero más allá de todos estos momentos compartidos, lo que verdaderamente nos une es el hecho de que las letras de Taylor parecen haber sido escritas solo para nosotros, como reflejos de nuestras propias historias. Esta comunidad de fans, apasionada y única, ha ganado premios y se ha estudiado a fondo, pero, por primera vez, los fans pueden rememorar y celebrar lo que significa ser parte de esta comunidad que te cambia la vida. Una carta de amor escrita por una Swiftie para Swifties, Nuestra historia es una promesa de que nuestra historia jamás será olvidada.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history. The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. <ul> <li>In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events.</li> <li>We travel from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years.</li> <li>Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, and counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry in different historical eras and places.</li></ul> The Rothschilds reveals a truly new story of a very old family, making a great contribution both to history and our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

The Untold Family Story

The Rothschilds

This open access book offersa cultural history of lawsuits that traces the development of French performance rights from la Belle Époque, throughthe Roaring Twenties, and into thePost-War period. It does so by analysing the ways in which performers, composers, and playwrights took to French courtrooms, sought attention in mass media, and participated in political debates to claim their rights to create and control musical and theatrical performance. In 19th-century France, composers and playwrights organised in member-run societies that successfully used authors' rights legislation to curb the power of theatre managers. By the turn of the 20th century, these so-called collective management organisations had transformed French cultural industries by building out structures of royalty collection and improving litigation practices. From the café-concert culture in 19th-century Montmartre and the rise of modern celebrity culture, to mass media and radio entertainment, the book traces precedent-setting litigation that defined who creates and controls performance. The book challenges previous narratives that centre the individualisation of authors in the expansion of the international copyright regime while neglecting performers. Instead, it reveals the ways in which the personality and individuality of performers have played a constitutive role in discourses about genius, technology, and legal categories. Performance as Intellectual Property is for anyone interested in the emergence of modern European cultural industries and the relationships between intellectual property systems, creativity, and art.

Performance as Intellectual Property

"Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" (Johnny Rotten, Rolling Stone)
 
 
The theory is that sex sells. And sex sells music.
 
The connections between music and sexuality are long-standing, 'rock'n'roll' itself being a slang term for sex, and there are many ways in which artists have explored sex and love through the medium of sound. Some of the records discussed in this book are experiments in expressing sexual desire through musical forms, mixing musical and sexual sounds. Others use sex purely as a marketing device or as 'whimsical entertainment' (sexualised images on LP covers, for example). Other records examine the politics of sexuality and/or offer a subversive take on the relationship between popular music and eroticism.
 
As an accessible form of entertainment, the LP was part of the 'democratization' of sexuality and erotica, something that was previously only available to the upper classes collecting erotic and pornographic materials on their many travels around the globe. Recorded music extended the reach of sexual content from literature, with books such as An ABZ of Love by Inge and Sten Hegeler (1963) or Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex (1972), into the audio-visual realm.
 
The 'stirrings of the soul', the animation of the spiritual and the emotional, is what 'heavy conscious creation' is about and the sexual aspect of this is significant and profound.
 
Canadian electroacoustic composer Robert Normandeau once claimed that 'music, unlike other contemporary art forms, has hardly dealt with eroticism as a genre'. This book tries to fill in the gaps that this statement implies.
 
And the "two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squelching noises" that Johnny Rotten spoke about are here, sometimes literally, in musical form.
