Richard Evans, founder of the hugely popular remembertheeighties.com, presents the best of the decade that brought us Madonna, My Little Pony, Sinclair ZX computers, Margaret Thatcher, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, legwarmers, the Walkman, breakdancing, Knight Rider, Brat Pack movies, the Rubik's cube and countless other icons that changed pop culture for ever. Beautifully illustrated with lavish images and plenty of neon colours, this book is the ultimate 80s time capsule. It reviews this great decade year by year, reliving the music, the fashions & the fads, as well as commenting on the issues of the day from the worlds of current affairs, sport, film & television. Real-life memories are also dotted throughout the book - contributions come from fans of the author's massively popular website, as well as many 80s stars. It even offers an introduction by ABC's Martin Fry, and features new interviews with countless 80s bands and pop acts to keep you updated on where they are now. A perfect gift idea for every child of the 80s, sure to provoke laughter, embarrassment, and an uncontrollable urge to get all those old records down from the loft.
