Booted and Suited: The Real Story of the 1970s--It Ain't No Boogie WonderlandPaperback, 1 August 2009

The 1970s brought in an era of shaved hair, funky music, and violent sport, and Chris Brown was in the thick of it. The regulation haircut, clip-on braces, shrunk Levis, and bovver boots--he had the look that every self-respecting bovver boy tried for, and he launched himself into the culture of the decade with a passion. This is a story of those times, of the adrenaline-packed Saturday outings, Tonik suits, terraces, and The Maytals, of race riots, safety pins, and The Clash by way of P.Funk, platform shoes, and discos.
