[pdf] Look Back in Anger: The Miners' Strike in Nottinghamshire 30 Years on

Tom Courtenay gives a flawlessly nuanced performance as Billy Fisher, the underachieving undertaker’s assistant whose constant daydreams and truth-deficient stories earn him the nickname “Billy Liar.” Julie Christie is the handbag-swinging charmer whose free spirit just might inspire Billy to finally move out of his parents’ house. Deftly veering from gritty realism to flamboyant fantasy, Billy Liar is a dazzling and uproarious classic.

Small-time thief Colin Smith thinks he's outfoxed the law, but he's caught with money stolen from a bakery and sent to do time in Ruxton Towers Reformatory for criminal youth. The prison seeks to reform its charges through a punishment-reward system: rebels are beaten, broken and passed up for release. The Governor is only interested in competitive sports and singles out Colin for his ability to run. This gives Colin a number of privileges, including the right to train for the marathon while running free and unsupervised. But the more Colin broods about injustice -the Governor is keen on winning a track match against some privileged public school boys- the less he wants to contribute to the hypocrisy.

Colin Smith es un joven de clase obrera que vive en un suburbio de Nottingham y que acaba de vivir una experiencia traumática tras la muerte de su padre. Es un adolescente rebelde y falto de afecto que rellena su monotonía y falta de objetivos robando y delinquiendo, lo que le conduce al reformatorio Ruxton Towers, que imparte una educación represiva y punitiva. Allí, su talento para correr destaca notablemente, un talento que hace que se convierta en el favorito del régimen y se gane la enemistad de los alumnos recluidos menos favorecidos. Las cosas se agravan cuando el director hace que Colin participe en la carrera anual contra un importante colegio privado. Durante sus carreras solitarias, los ensueños de su vida anterior a su encarcelamiento permiten al espectador conocer la situación de Colin, así como permiten al propio personaje reflexionar sobre su estado privilegiado como el corredor favorito del Director. Narrada en un sobrio y austero blanco y negro y estructurada a base de flash-backs nos sorprende con un final inesperado, expresión de la ira de los jóvenes descontentos con la sociedad que les rodea.

2003 SACD reissue, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second album by the UK rockers, Oasis. Originally released in October 1995 in the UK, the album was Oasis' most enduring commercial success, charting at #1 in the UK for 10 weeks and #4 in the U.S. The album has sold over 18 million copies worldwide. It is the third biggest-selling album in UK chart history. Album singles "Some Might Say", "Roll With It", " Wonderwall", and "Don't Look Back in Anger" were hits in the UK.

The compilation features the cream of the material the star recorded between 1969 and 1987. David Bowie remains impossible to pigeonhole - first there was Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, a White Soul Boy and a Thin White Duke. He went on to invent synth-pop with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno and then disappeared behind the make-up of Pierrot when the New Romantics mixed all of his eras together. And then, he became a truly global megastar in the 80s. This collection contains four UK No. 1s, 15 Top 10, six Top 20 and 14 Top 75 hits; 338 weeks of UK chart history. But David Bowie could never be contained by statistics alone: any collection that contains Starman, The Jean Genie, Fame, "Heroes", Sound and Vision, Ashes To Ashes, Under Pressure and Let's Dance spells it plainly - this is a collection of some of the greatest and best-known music of the 20th Century by one of its very finest performers. 57 tracks in total.
