The best present ever
“Bought this as a present for my dad who was in his 20s during 1970s Birmingham. He absolutely loved it! 100% worth the money and then some. Thank you! My dad was over the moon.”
5 stars not enough – I’d give 10!
“Would give 10 stars if I could - I couldn’t stop smiling, bought back so many memories of all the different fashions and bands. The books are fantastic and I love all the photos of Birmingham during those fabulous years. Brilliant books, highly recommend, didn’t want them to end!”
Fantastic Trip Down Memory Lane
“Brilliant book and fantastic collection of photos. Keep going back to it again and again. Thanks so much for bringing my much-missed youth back to life.” 🙏🌷
Those were the days
“I loved this book! I adored the pictures of my old haunts. Very informative, it filled in gaps that I was too young to appreciate at the time. Those were the days. What a brilliant time we had, feel very privileged to have seen so many good bands locally so its good to see it in print. Even a picture of the pub where I worked a few evenings after the Saturday job in town!”
Takes me back
“What a fantastic book – it took me right back to Birmingham in the 1970s, the pubs and eateries – the fashions, music and nightclubs and discos we all used to go to.
Just the right combination of pictures and words – and the fact that it uses the memories of real people is brilliant. It’s well put together with fantastic themes running through the whole book.
I can thoroughly recommend ‘The Dirty Stop Outs’ Guide to 1970s Birmingham’ – it’s packed full of memories.”

A welcome slice of nostalgia!
Great book. Everything I was hoping it would be. Great customer service too. Perfect thank you.
The memories it brought back were fantastic.
A+
Not only are these books entertaining, but they're also educational. I learned so much about the history of Birmingham's nightlife. Perfect for both young and old
As a music lover, this bundle is gold. It covers the rise of so many bands and the venues that supported them. A real insight into Birmingham's music scene back in the day.
The quality of these books is top-notch. From the glossy pages to the vibrant photos, it's clear a lot of effort went into making them. Proud to have them on my coffee table
Wow, these books took me right back to my clubbing days in Brum. The photos and stories are spot on. Can't believe how much I've forgotten until now. A must-have for any 80s and 70s Birmingham fan!
Had friends over, and these books became the center of our conversation. We laughed, reminisced, and shared stories all night. It's more than just a book; it's an experience
I hesitated at first, but this bundle is worth every penny. The joy and memories it brought back are invaluable. Highly recommend to anyone who lived through those golden years.
I bought the book/magazine originally for my dissertation and it has helped massively in my understanding to know what the club scene was like and it has helped to know the social aspect of Sheffield during that time. Highly recommend, it's a great read and if you are wanting to know more information on Sheffield in the 1980s.
Stunning T-Shirt, fast delivery, cracking quality!
Got this bundle as a gift, and it's like reliving my youth. The detail is incredible, and the memories just came flooding back. Highly recommend for anyone who was there
I loved it. I all so got 1970s guide
