Albert Goldman - Disco


The definitive disco book and the father of the modern youth culture book. Published in 1977 and somewhat Grace Jones and Studio 54 heavy, along with loads of incredible pictures of lots of the places and people that mattered at the time. Brilliant text is very much in the anthropological study vein. Recommended.

Susannah Heron / Bodyworks / 1980


For those of you that don't know, Heron made perspex jewellery in the 70s and early 80s, rather like a new wave Tatty Devine, and it's pretty amazing stuff. Stocked by Swanky modes amongst others at the time and now somewhat forgotten.

Guy Debord / Memoires


Brilliant full facsimile (minus sandpaper cover) of this legendary piece of situ detournement.

Untitled Vogue shoot - 1968-1971-ish


I can't for the life of me remember which issue this came from, would have been UK Vogue, late 60's early 70's.
