Young Hearts Run Free: The Real Story of the 1970s'Young Hearts Run Free' is an antidote to 'I Love the 1970s'; it is the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of 'Manchester, England'. The 1970s is a decade frequently miscast; a parade of fashion disasters backed by a soundtrack of glam rock or frothy, mainstream disco.

'Young Hearts Run Free' is an antidote to 'I Love the 1970s'; it is the real story of the 1970s from the critically acclaimed author of 'Manchester, England'.

The 1970s is a decade frequently miscast; a parade of fashion disasters backed by a soundtrack of glam rock or frothy, mainstream disco. The generation who grew up in the 1970s remember the decade differently: inflation, strikes, and power cuts; the rise of the National Front; IRA terror campaigns on the British mainland; women's liberation; 'Mean Streets'; 'Taxi Driver' and 'Apocalypse Now'.

'Young Hearts Run Free' tells the story of the 1970s, celebrating the musicians and songs that illuminated the ideas, fashions and sexual revolutions of the decade including: the politicised soul and funk of Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, the Punk explosion, New Wave, David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, gay disco, the Stooges, Patti Smith, the Raincoats, Cabaret Voltaire, the Specials, and black British reggae.

'Young Hearts Run Free' uses in-depth research, drawing not only on interviews with musicians, writers, and artists but also a wide range of representatives of the 70s generation. They introduce us to life and music away from the mainstream: nothing bland, nothing obvious, definitely not Abba.

Super comfortable
Color: Green Bamboo(2300gsm), Size: Queen
this mattress topper completely saved my bed. It is super thick and soft, but still gives enough support so you don’t feel totally stuck. The cooling cover actually works pretty well and doesn't trap heat like other memory foam I’ve tried in the past. It was also really easy to put on and the deep pockets keep it from sliding around at night. Very happy with it!

Mattress Topper
Color: Green Bamboo(2300gsm), Size: Queen
So far I haven’t really got to get a feel of it. I will say it came smelling very strongly. I’ve had it now for 3 days & it still has a smell. I let it sit out for 24 hours, with the window opened but it still has an odd scent & once I put it on my bed it’s still smelling strong. It’s kind of hard to focus on my comfort when the smell is very odd & foul but aside from that. The reviews are on point in regards to its softness.
