When Miss Hazelstone of Jacaranda Park kills her Zulu cook in a sensational crime passionel, the gallant members of the South African police force are soon on the scene: Kommandant van Heerden, whose secret longing for the heart of an English gentleman leads to the most memorable transplant operation yet recorded; Luitenant Verkramp of the Security Branch, ever active in the pursuit of Communist cells; Konstabel Els, with his propensity for shooting first and not thinking later - and also for forcing himself upon African women in a manner legally reserved for male members of their own race. In the course of the strange events which follow, we encounter some very esoteric perversions when the Kommandant is held captive in Miss Hazelstone's remarkable rubber room; and some even more amazing perversions of justice when Miss Hazelstone's brother, the Bishop of Barotseland, is sentenced to be hanged on the ancient gallows in the local prison. Not a 'political' novel in any previously imagined sense, Riotous Assembly provided a completely fresh approach to the South African scene - an approach startling in its deadpan savagery and yet also outrageously funny. ... less

PUNK ROCK EXPLODED ONTO THE LONDON SCENE IN 1976, BUT AS IT GAINED PACE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ITS IDEALS WERE EFFECTIVELY EMASCULATED AS THE MOVEMENT'S LEADING LIGHTS SUCCUMBED TO THE ALLURE OF FILTHY LUCRE, BECOMING THE BITCHES OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA CORPORATIONS. BY 1977 THE RIPPLE EFFECT HAD REACHED FAR FROM THE EPICENTRE TO OTHER BLEAK, RECESSION HIT UK CITIES. PLACES WHERE NO RECORD COMPANY A&R STAFF EVER VENTURED - THE FROZEN WASTES NORTH OF HATFIELD. THE HEADY, PETROLEUM STENCH OF REBELLION BLEW OVER NEWCASTLE, WHERE PUNK ROCK WAS LESS OF A FASHION BANDWAGON, MORE OF AN AMPHETAMINE FUELLED CALL TO ARMS TO DISCONTENTED YOUTH TRYING TO SURVIVE AMID THE URBAN DECAY. IT BECAME A PLATFORM FOR ALIENATED, SOCIALLY EXCLUDED KIDS WITH NO FUTURE AND NO FUN TO CREATE THEIR OWN BIT OF ACTION. IN THE THICK OF IT WAS THE BIG G, WHOSE BLISTERING LIVE PERFORMANCES WERE A CALL TO ARMS TO PUNKS AROUND THE NORTH OF ENGLAND, FANNING THE FLAMES OF YOUTH REBELLION WITH THEIR POWERHOUSE, ROCKET BLASTED SONGS, STREET LEVEL LYRICS AND CONFRONTATIONAL ATTITUDE, REMINISCENT OF IGGY & THE STOOGES OR THE MC5. ....HARRY HACK AND THE BIG G WERE COUNTERCULTURAL REVOLUTIONARY, ANARCHO ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN, GROUCHO MARXIST, ABSURDIST REACTIONARY YIPPIE PUNKS WHO WANTED TO FUCK THE SYSTEM!!. AT LAST SHOWCASES THIS REMARKABLE BAND TO THE WORLD. A BLAST OF SPINE TINGLING NOSTALGIA FOR THOSE "WHO WERE THERE"....OR A SONIC WHITE KNUCKLE RIDE FOR ANYONE WITH NO PREVIOUS NOTION OF THIS RIOTOUS ASSEMBLY!. "JUST WHAT IS IT YOU'RE REBELLING AGAINST JOHNNY?......."WHAT YA GOT?" WAS DEFINITELY THE ATTITUDE. TRACKS FEATURED ... I HATE THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE / ARTSY FARTSY / STARSKY & HUTCH / FUCK THE SYSTEM / APATHY ROW / SOMEONE'S GOTTA LOSE / WAITING FOR THE BLACKOUT / UNRELEASED 7" (ALTERNATE VERSIONS) THAT WAS CUT AT 'PORKY PRIME CUT'. ...I HATE THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE / STARSKY & HUTCH / APATHY ROW) ... less

A sensational assembly of salacious stories selected from the secret shelves of the libraries of libertines, long-gone gentlemen, rakes and roues. These pages are patinated with the pulsating passion of vigorous youths, willing wenches, innocent initiates, meddling madames and vicarious voyeurs. The passionate participants, the actors and actresses of these romances, the heroes and heroines of these tales all seem to need little encouragement to indulge in their ribald and riotous recreation. Few avenues of amorous adventure and exotic experiment will be left unexplored. Here some great and some prudently anonymous authors inspired by inventive imagination and, probably, personal experience lay out their works of fantasy for your edification. ... less
