As always we are very proud of the content, although this time its extreme diversity is harder to neatly summarise. Dip in and have fun. Only then can you discover what you thought you didn’t know. No, you’re quite right, that did not make sense, but it took me a while to realise it! Whilst most of us will be very thankful that Tom Parker Bowles does not ‘Rule the World’, there is pretty much something for everybody in this edition. Even Nicola Sturgeon might agree, although sadly she may not be so delighted with Brian Wilson’s excellent adjudication of her party’s past performance and potentially prurient future. We also discover that there are ‘50 Shades of Brown’, but not all of them should apply to brown furniture. It was the post-industrial population explosion of the Victorian era that created the demand for mass- produced furniture, which became an ever increasingly ghastly dull brown Rod Stewart in Boisdale of Mayfair’s surreal fairy tale Vinyl Bar & Groove Room taking a selfie with Alice and possibly drove sensitive men like (also known as Elisabeth) and bartenders team who speak in poetic rhyming riddles www.boisdale.co.uk Lewis Carrol to seek refuge with opiates.

    ČSP, br. 2., 391.-416. Zagreb, 2009. UDK: 355.257.7(497.1=163.42)’’1945’’ 341.322.5(497.1)’’1945’’ 327(497.1)’’1945’’ Izvorni znanstveni članak Primljeno: 29. 6. 2007. Prihvaćeno: 4. 7. 2008. Izručenja i sudbine zarobljenika smještenih u savezničkim logorima u svibnju 1945. MARTINA GRAHEK RAVANČIĆ Hrvatski institut za povijest, Zagreb, Republika Hrvatska U radu se nudi kraći osvrt na sudbine izručenih i prisilno repatriranih zarobljenika (pri- padnika vojnih snaga i civila), koji su u neposrednoj završnici Drugoga svjetskoga rata, bježeći pred jedinicama Jugoslavenske armije, primljeni i smješteni u savezničke logore za “predano neprijateljsko osoblje” tj. za “raseljeno osoblje”. Ključne riječi: Drugi svjetski rat, zarobljenici, prisilne repatrijacije, logori, žrtve, Zapad- ni saveznici Sporni događaji vraćaju nas u dane s kraja Drugoga svjetskoga rata u koji- ma pobjednici imaju primat i kroje oblik “novog svijeta”. Naći se na strani po- raženih značilo je iščekivati nepoznatu budućnost. U tom kontekstu našlo se i mnoštvo čije sudbine i danas obilježava bleiburška tragedija. Početkom svibnja 1945. kraj Drugoga svjetskog rata bio je samo pitanje dana. Političke i ratne prilike obilježene su stalnim nadiranjem savezničkih snaga, praćenih jedinica- ma Jugoslavenske armije (JA), te konstantnim sužavanjem linije bojišnice na prostoru Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (NDH).1 Zbog nedostatka naoružanja i općeg povlačenja postrojbi Trećeg Reicha s Balkana, Oružane snage NDH (OS NDH) našle su se u prilično nezavidnom položaju, pa je stoga donesena od- luka o općem povlačenju prema Zapadu. Gotovo istovremeno Josip Broz Tito naredio je zapovjednicima četiriju armija JA da “oslobodi jugoslovenske naro- de na njihovoj cjelokupnoj etničkoj teritoriji zaključno sa Istrom, Slovenačkim primorjem i Koruškom i okruži, prinudi na kapitulaciju ili uništi glavne snage okupatora i njihovih suradnika, koje su se u proleće 1945.

Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020. The process of gathering Brent’s musical heritage is an ongoing task - there are many incomplete entries and gaps.
