    Dreamboats, Boybands and the Perils of Showbiz: Pop and Film, 1956-1968 David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. The first appearance of rock and roll music in film seems to have been something of an afterthought. When Richard Brooks’s Blackboard Jungle was released in 1955, the producers made a last-minute decision to accompany the opening and closing credits with an obscure B-side called ‘Rock Around the Clock’ by Bill Haley and the Comets. The record had been released the previous year with little success. Although an instrumental version of the tune does appear in the middle of the film, Blackboard Jungle is barely concerned with rock or pop music at all. In one notable scene, the delinquent teenagers trash their teacher’s treasured collection of jazz records; while in another, one of the students, Gregory Miller (played by Sidney Poitier) performs a gospel song with his black class-mates. However, the inclusion of Haley’s track made it an immediate chart hit; and it also contributed to the remarkable success of the film with teenage audiences. Indeed, the use of ‘Rock Around the Clock’ seems to have encouraged dancing and even wilder behaviour in cinemas, both in the US and in the UK. When the film was shown in South London in 1956, Teddy Boys in the audience reportedly rioted and slashed the seats; and this led to similar behaviour in cinemas around the country.

    Reading Production and Culture UK Teen Girl Comics from 1955 to 1960

    Ormrod, J (2018) Reading production and culture UK teen Girl comics from 1955 to 1960. Girlhood Studies, 11 (3). pp. 8-33. ISSN 1938-8209 Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/622860/ Version: Accepted Version Publisher: Berghahn DOI: https://doi.org/10.3167/ghs.2018.110304 Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Reading Production and Culture in UK Teen Girl Comics 1955 to 1960 Joan Ormrod Abstract In this article I explore the production of teen girl comics such as Marilyn, Mirabelle, Roxy and Valentine in the promotion of pop music and pop stars from 1955 to 1960. These comics developed alongside early pop music and consisted of serial and self-contained picture stories, beauty and pop music articles, advice columns, and horoscopes. Materiality is a key component of the importance of comics in the promotional culture in a media landscape in which pop music was difficult to access for teenage girls. I analyze the comics within their historical and cultural framework and show how early British pop stars were constructed through paradoxical discourses such as religion, consumerism, and national identity to make them safe for teen girl consumption. The promotion of these star images formed the foundation for later pop music promotion and girl fan practices. Keywords consumerism, fandom, fantasy, materiality, pop music, promotion, stardom, teen magazines Introduction Teen girl comics appeared in the mid-1950s, a pivotal moment in popular culture when the teenage girl was identified as a member of a potentially lucrative market, and American culture began to pervade British teenage music, fashion, and attitudes.

    Popular Imperialism: the British Pop Music Industry 1950- 1975 Richard

    Popular Imperialism: The British Pop Music Industry 1950- 1975 Richard Coopey Business History Unit, London School of Economics Abstract In this paper the general contours of the British popular music industry are outlined, charting the development of new technologies, new business forms and new market structures, which transformed the sector between 1950 and 1975. The paper then goes on to introduce some concepts and ideas related to the global impact of the business, including its relationship to the USA and wider markets, and specifically the role of London as a centre for production, but also as a key cultural idea in the pop world of the 1960s. Introduction The British popular music industry developed and transformed itself during the first decades following World War Two, becoming, alongside the USA, a major force in the global entertainment industry. This paper will outline the nature of this growth, examining its components and impact. The development of the pop music industry is a complex phenomenon. There has been much interest in recent years in the relationship between business and wider cultural and social dynamics. Scholars such as Ken Lipartito, Mick Rowlinson and Geoff Jones have been part of a ‘cultural turn’ in business history, examining the role of cultures, somehow defined, in influencing and shaping business strategy, trajectories and so on. With the pop music industry, however, we need to engage with a sector which trades in culture itself. An industry involved directly in the production of culture, and calling for analysis of an increasingly challenging nature. The pop music industry did not emerge de novo in the post war period.

Quite a lot of attention has been given to film and television versions of the novels, many of which are very distinguished. The stage and screen musical based on his work, essentially a product of the last fifty years, has been neither as studied nor as respected. This paper looks at the con- nection between Dickens’s novels, the celebration of “London-ness” and its articulation in popular forms of working-class music and song.

    THE BEATLES IMAGE: MASS MARKETING 1960S BRITISH and AMERICAN MUSIC and CULTURE, OR BEING a SHORT THESIS on the DUBIOUS PACKAGE of the BEATLES

    THE BEATLES IMAGE: MASS MARKETING 1960s BRITISH AND AMERICAN MUSIC AND CULTURE, OR BEING A SHORT THESIS ON THE DUBIOUS PACKAGE OF THE BEATLES by Richard D Driver, Bachelor of Arts A Thesis In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Aliza S Wong Randy McBee John Borrelli Dean of the Graduate School May, 2007 Copyright 2007, Richard Driver Texas Tech University, Richard D Driver, May 2007 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work could not have been possible without the encouragement and guidance of a number of individuals, as well as countless persons who pulled books, worked through interlibrary loans, and simply listened to me talk about it. Without the guidance, tolerance, insight, time, and encouragement of my committee, Aliza S Wong and Randy McBee, this thesis would have remained nothing more than a passing thought. Aliza, more than any other professor has been there for me since this project truly began over two years ago. It was her initial push for me to write about something I loved that drove me to attend Graduate school and then build upon what I had done previously with The Beatles “image.” Dr. McBee provided excellent guidance into understanding many of the post-war American facets of this work, not simply those related to The Beatles or music in general. Additional thanks are reserved for Dr. Julie Willett for her class on sexuality and gender where new methods and modes of historical thought were founded in this work. Finally, this thesis would have been impossible had I not been accepted into and granted a teaching position in the History Department at Texas Tech University, and it is to the entire department that I owe my greatest thanks.
  • The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour As a Countercultural Anti-Masculinist Text

    The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour As a Countercultural Anti-Masculinist Text

    G.J.I.S.S.,Vol.4(3):102-110 (May-June, 2015) ISSN: 2319-8834 Roll up for the Mystery Tour: Reading the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour as a Countercultural Anti-Masculinist Text Dr Martin King Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Abstract Sixties activist Abbie Hoffman has argued that The Beatles were part of a cultural revolution where the best and popular were, at a particular historical moment, the same, citing the Sgt. Pepper album in particular as a cultural artefact with wide reaching implications (Giuliano and Giuliano, 1995). This is, of course, a contested position, with The Beatles’ relationship with the 1960s’ counterculture the subject of much debate since, not least in the discussion around Lennon’s song Revolution, resulting in written correspondence between Lennon and the London-based underground magazine Black Dwarf, or the debate between Richard Goldstein of The New York Times and Robert Christgau in Esquire on the merits of Sgt. Pepper. In a recent book the author has explored The Beatles’ role in changing representations of men and masculinities in the 1960s. The 1960s is, perhaps, the most re-presented decade of recent times, and this article will explore The Beatles’ role in reflecting and popularising the values of the counterculture, both at the time and in retrospect. Coser (1965) drew parallels between the new intellectual elite of the 1960s and the court jester of medieval times, a role which allowed for the subversion and ridiculing of the established order of the times, positioned beyond the social hierarchy. Inglis (2000a; 2000b) has developed this concept, presenting The Beatles as men of ideas, constantly associated with changing visual and musical styles and reflecting on intellectualism at work in the new world of popular music.

All you long time Woodie folk will know that our up-coming Charlie Gracie London and Home Counties exclusive gig at the Spice Of Life, Soho, has completely sold out and has been since a few weeks before Christmas. This is truly a landmark show and we all here at Tales From The Woods are proud to be associated, not just because this is highly likely to be his final tour as reported in our last issue, but also a celebration of 60 years since he opened his first ever tour at the nearby London Hippodrome Theatre to rave reviews from no less a heavyweight tome than the Times. It's hard to imagine now, all these decades later, just how revolutionary it was at the time that a Rock’n’Roll singer and guitarist should merit such praiseworthy words from a publication that can only be described, particularly at that time, as a standard bearer of the establishment, whilst Rock’n’Roll represented the opposite end of the social spectrum; juvenile delinquency, contemptuous, void of any musical value.
