The Works is a very nice, cheap and with great variety of books shop. I have been in several around Britain. I liked the one in Newport S. Wales but I?m shopping mainly from the one in Preston or the one in Chorley, Lancashire. The layout and the presentation of the shops are almost the same wherever I have been.

Pop bands were allowed to play instruments, write their own songs, control their own career and generally allowed to be non-conformist regarding the mainstream. And the band that did this better than anyone was The Icicle Works. This scouse three piece did all of the above, made pop with a rock edge, and sometimes the otherway around. Seven Singles Deep is as the name suggests, a compilation of the first singles the band released, and is a great introduction to this band and will expose you to some ...
