The Spanish Civil War
I think a little more research on the part of Marcus Epstein is needed here. There were volunteers from over 50 countries in Spain; and the German Condor Legion and Italian CTV, along with their hundreds of tanks and planes, and the 3,500,000 tons of US oil, 12,000 US-made trucks and 40,000... -

Koop - Come To Me - a strange mish-mash of British 20s, 30s and 40s styles, and an utterly charming little song. -
The Spanish Civil War
I missed this earlier, and it is so far from truth as to be ridiculous. Primo de Rivera was executed on 20 November 1936 and atrocities, on both sides, prior to this date are well documented - you may want to reread your "multitude of papers on the Spanish Civil War". The most infamous... -
Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.
The term "Steampunk" seems to have been coined by K W Jeter in the late 80s, to describe his "gonzo-historical" books, and those of Tim Powers and James Blaylock, from the late 70s and 80s. That's according to the wiki anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk#Origin- Salv

The Spanish Civil War
Is the (possible) slaughter of priests and bishops more, or less, horrific than the (actual) slaughter of Republicans that took place after the end of the war? If more horrific, why so? And the rebels were quite happy to kill Catholics, including priests, when it suited them - thousands of... -
Jazz vinyl
It might be worth calling Ray's Jazz in London (http://www.myspace.com/raysjazz or http://www.foyles.co.uk/foyles/rays.asp?TAG=&CID=to) to see if they still buy vinyl. As far as I know Ray's is the last jazz specialist left in London, and they are now based in Foyle's bookshop in Charing Cross... -
Jeans
Thanks Mud - I half suspected it wasn't an old design, since I couldn't find it pictured anywhere. The Lee Europe website http://eu.lee.com/ has a good timeline with photos of original jeans and jackets, and it wasn't on there, although originals of the Lee repros I posted above are there.- Salv

Jeans
Another Lee jacket I'm not sure about this one, whether it's a repro of an old design, or a new design in a retro style. I haven't been able to find any photos of an old version of this one, so can anyone confirm its pedigree? It's a Lee Europe (from their Gold Label range), double-pleated, raw...- Salv

The Spanish Civil War
anselmo1 - why do you keep insisting that Franco and his cronies were rebelling against a Communist regime? You saw my post with the results of the February 1936 elections. The Communists were a small minority in the Popular Front government, and I've yet to see any evidence that they exerted... -

The Spanish Civil War
How many times do I have to repeat this? (Maybe I should write it in a large size in the hopes that people take notice): The Spanish Communist Party (PCE) was a small minority in the Popular Front. Please note the results of the 1936 elections which I listed in the very first post in this... -

The Spanish Civil War
Sierra Charriba will have to answer this one, although he stated near the top of the thread that he recommended the revised edition of the Beevor book, and he also believes that "Curiously, the best books about our war have been written by Anglo-saxon authors." -
The Spanish Civil War
Probably Anthony Beevor's recently updated The Battle For Spain, and Hugh Thomas' The Spanish Civil War. I've never read the Thomas book, but from reviews it appears to be very strong on military detail, but weaker on the causes and the background to the war. Beevor isn't as concerned with the... -
The New Picadilly Cafe to close in September.
It's not really the developer's fault - and I'm surprised that I can defend property developers! - it's the landowner who realises he/she/they make more money from rent and rates from a single large office block than it can from a series of small, and in some cases absolutely unique, businesses...- Salv

On The Road: The Original Scroll
I may order one from Amazon in the US. Not only will it be available earlier but even with international shipping it still works out cheaper than buying it from Amazon UK - and that's at Amazon UK's discounted price with free shipping! Gotta love that strong pound/weak dollar :D- Salv
