Title: Shiny and New Author: Dylan Jones Narrator: Simon Slater Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins Release date: 07-08-21 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 3 ratings Genres: History & Criticism Publisher's Summary: The '80s were about big ideas writ large - new money, new style, gender fluidity, gay pride, attritional politics, the 'special relationship', nuclear fear, AIDS, cocaine, ecstasy, tabloid royalty, the rise of urban pop and ultimately geopolitical chaos. Using a big narrative approach, Dylan Jones' history of the decade in pop frames the decade through some of its most important and popular hits, choosing records that either epitomised their time or ushered in a new cultural shift.
