 Joseph Farrell's creepy account of Nazi physics & technology during WW2 and how it may have supported a secret post-war fascist network. Unnerving stuff. Edited by Atavachron - March 16 2024 at 17:16 |

 Jane's Defence Weekly journalist & expert Nick Cook investigates the rumors of 'counterbary', or anti-gravity, being developed in the 1950s. Good sleuthy read by a credible and informed author. |

 Sex and drugs and rock and roll in all its salacious details. Some of these details I found disturbing, particularly when it concerned the treatment of underage females. That's not my problem with this book however. It could have used a good proof reader as it is riddled with typographical errors. At one stage a whole paragraph is repeated and there are a number of other errors that I found quite distracting and annoying. Yes, it looks like I'm stuck in the seventies but that's just the way my reading is flowing at the moment. Edited by Hugh Manatee - February 27 2024 at 19:06 |

All I ever do is read the introductions and look at the pictures. By the time I'm done with the pictures, I have to go to the bathroom.

Even though this book is 600 pages and only covers UK prog from the (for the most part early) seventies, it still can't, by the authors own admission cover every group of that era. But it still manages to cover a lot of ground. It starts of sort of chronologically and then goes on to give each featured group a chapter, which allows the reader to skip over artists they are not interested in if they so choose, with some diversions into fashion, politics and sundry other topics. Sure, as always with this kind of topic there might well be things that some readers might not agree with, however it is very well researched, and includes a lot of first-hand interviews with some big players in prog. It's worth the slog for those interested in the formative years of classic UK prog. Edited by Hugh Manatee - February 22 2024 at 20:50 |

Thanks, I'm through about 7 chapters so far. Quite a lot of revelations and I'm learning all sorts of stuff about the music industry (ie ghost musicians on albums/singles that went uncredited) as well as Linda and Paul's relationship. She also defends a lot of what he did after the Beatles and also debunks the myth that Decca turned down The Beatles. Fun 'read' (although I'm doing the audio book version!)
