This message has been sent through the MASSOBS discussion list. Remember, clicking 'reply' sends your message to the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Jessica, for circulating the link to Joe Moran's very positive review (Guardian 25 Feb) of the new OBSERVING THE EIGHTIES online resource. He makes some perceptive points and is links it nicely to Tracey Thorn's biography. In one of those coincidences that the original Mass Observers loved, Tracey Thorn's group, 'Everything but the Girl', used a photograph from Humphrey Spender's Worktown collection on the cover of their CD: "Love not money" issued in 1985! The mix of MO writers' accounts of life in the 1980s with the ephemera from the period and the oral history accounts from the British Library National Life Story Collection seems to have worked really well so well done especially to Lucy Robinson who was the academic lead and Jill Kirby who managed the whole project. And also to the team in the Library and Special Collections. It was great fun to be part of the project and help with selecting the '80s people. I wonder if any of those people have had a look at the website so far? What do you/they think?
