Anthology: 2cd — £14.99
Although known first and foremost as the principal songwriter and guitarist of The Who, Pete Townshend has also forged a successful solo career. It was his guitar-smashing, anarchic stage performances in the 1960s that made The Who a concert sensation for the next four decades, and many single out Townshend as the original punk rocker.

Beautiful Dreams — £6.99
De Burgh's brand of prog-lite initially struggled to hit the big time in the UK and the US, despite being a major act elsewhere. It wasn't until his seventh and eighth albums, THE GETAWAY (1982) and MAN ON THE LINE (1984), which featured the hit singles "Don't Pay the Ferryman" and "High on Emotion" respectively, that he made his presence felt. De Burgh enjoyed a massive global hit with the saccharine "Lady in Red" (1986) which announced his position as a major star, albeit a habitually derided one.
dvd: Land Before Time 7: Stone Of Cold Fire (2006) — £14.97
The whole stone of cold fire pilgrimage is the centre of the films most sophisticated theme, around which it is structured. The film opens with the customary Long, long ago
introduction (still complete with cheap universe-and-natural-history sequence) but this time narrated by Petrie and twisted towards the end into a flyers myth of flyers supremacy over the earth.

Shouting End Of Life — £8.99
1995's SHOUTING END OF LIFE continues the trend of previous albums like TRAWLER and HOLY BANDITS, balancing the good-timey trad-folk roots of early releases like STEP OUTSIDE with the fiercer and more politicised elements that surfaced on songs like their covers of Nick Lowe's anti-war ballad "The Rose of England" and New Order's more opaque "Love Vigilantes". From the strident solidarity of the anthemic opener "We'll Be There" to an impassioned cover of Richard and Mimi Farina's "Blood Red Roses...
Setting Sons — £14.99
Britain's a funny place, but not always in the literal sense. While apparently placid on the surface, in reality England has always had issues with class, race, and socio-political turmoil. In 1980 Margaret Thatcher had taken power as Prime Minister, and the youth culture that had usually reserved its disdain for the dominant Labour party had a compelling new target. Not so coincidentally, in 1980 The Jam released SETTING SONS, their strongest and most political album to date. If The Jam's first...

dvd: Benny Hill Show: Annual: 1973 (2005) — £15.99
For nearly four decades Benny Hill reigned supreme as the king of bawdy humour and seaside postcard-style japery on British television. Undoubtedly, out of his entire body of work, it is the shows that he did for Thames television in the 1970s for which he is best remembered, with their combination of high-speed farce, risqué jokes and beautiful ladies.

dvd: A Racing Car Is Born: Dragster (2008) — £11.99
music: A Date With The Everly Brothers (2005) — £29.97
These two brothers from Kentucky are the bridge between the assorted familial harmonisers of the country radio show era and the rock & roll of the '60s. Their sterling singing adapted well to the changing styles of four different decades. They were in on the first flush of the rock & roll era in the mid-'50s, and their mix of country, pop, and rock & roll provided some of the shining moments of the early '60s, a largely fallow time for pop music. In the late '60s/early '70s, their style was a natural...

dvd: Modern Toss: Series 1 (2007) — £30.97
Rude, offensive, and downright weird, MODERN TOSS is an animated series that flies in the face of conventional wisdom. It's a world where alphabets are illegal, astronauts abuse ducks, and the sight of Alan Titchmarsh is enough to turn a man into a giant red monster. Don't expect it to make much sense, just sit back and let it wash over you like a tidal wave of guacamole. This release contains every episode from the show's debut series.

Godfather Of Chicago Blues — £6.99
Blues guitarist Big Bill Broonzy was born in Mississippi but is considered the granddaddy of the Chicago sound. One of the first rural blues musicians to merge southern country flavour with the grit of the urban north, Broonzy was an influence on generations of blues guitarists from Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy to their many subsequent disciples. Broonzy's impact also extended into the folk realm as he collaborated with, among others, Pete Seeger and Josh White and is cited as a major influence by...
dvd: Diary Of A Lost Girl: Bw/1929/Silent (2007) — £44.97
The final collaboration, following PANDORA'S BOX, between G.W. Pabst and Louise Brooks, the American silent film star whose look defined the Jazz Age, DIARY OF A LOST GIRL is a similarly lurid tale of a young woman's life. Brooks stars as Thymiane, a young girl life whose life collapses when she is raped and made pregnant by her father's young assistant. After a reform school escape she ends up in a brothel, which, ironically, leads her to a salvation of sorts. Silent film with piano and jazz ensemble...
dvd: Suzhou River (2003) — £16.47
With SUZHOU RIVER, director Lou Ye has created an intense, jerky visual and narrative style that captivates viewers and pulls them into the mystery of the film's dreamy, alluring tale of love and mistaken identities. The narrator--the voice behind the camera (literally) who occasionally sticks his hand out in front of the lens to spraypaint a stencil on the side of a building or pick up a drink from the bar--guides the viewer along the banks of the heavily polluted and industrialised Suzhou River...

dvd: Mission Without Permission (2004) — £2.99
Heist adventures and bank robberies are not just for adults, at least not according to Maddy (Kristen Stewart), the plucky 12-year-old star of CATCH THAT KID.
