strongSHOUT!/strong is the mod musical magazine that brings back the beautiful birds and smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60's.brbrFrom cover-to-cover strongSHOUT!/strong
travels in time from 1960 to 1970 chronicling the dawning liberation
of women. Just as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Cilla Black, and
Lulu were independent women with major careers, English and American
women were redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about

appeals to every generation.brbrWith a shimmy and shake, the songs
are tied together by hilarious sound bites from the period - from 60's
advertisements for anything and everything - to lonely hearts letters
answered by an advice columnist who thinks every problem can be solved
with a "fetching new hair style and a new shade of lipstick."brbrWith
