The Time Machine, this definitely is a lot better than that horrible remake from 2002. Still not a favorite but I can appreciate it. This film received the Oscar for Best Effects-Special Effects for Gene Warren & Tim Baar.
0![‘LIVERPOOL’S NEW STORE WITH AN ACCENT ON RECORDS’ (Liverpool Echo - May 30, 1960)
The day the Beatles got back to Liverpool [from a Scottish tour], the Echo ran a full-page editorial-ad for NEMS. The store at 12-14 Whitechapel was the first occupant in a new-build, and Brian and Clive Epstein - but mostly Brian - designed every aspect of the interior in conjunction with architects. A lift and a mahogany staircase reached “four floors of magnificent showrooms featuring televisions, records and domestic appliances”… but the emphasis was on records, Brian’s preserve: classical on the ground floor, popular, jazz and “Continental” in the basement. As the Echo stated, “The ambition of NEMS is to supply ANY record that is named - and to produce it almost immediately.” NEMS of Whitechapel promised to be the best record shop in the north and, from the moment it opened, it was. Now 25, Brian wasn’t interested in second best.
it wasn’t just that he knew how to manage, it was the unabashed relish with which he went about it. The boy who’d been such an abject failure academically held his head high as any who prospered. The ground floor featured a 42ft length U-shaped counter and a suspended ceiling covered with more than a thousand LP sleeves - it was the first time in Britain such a ceiling had been created and was soon copied by others.

45Lecture 2: The incomparable and extremely influential blues musician Muddy Waters (a.k.a., McKinley Morganfield) performs his big hit, “(I’m Your) Hoochie Coochie Man” at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, on July 3, 1960. Muddy at Newport is widely regarded as one of the best live performances of all time. More than any other Blues singer, Mississippi-born Muddy Waters – a key figure in the electrification of Blues music (known as “Chicago Blues”) – bridged the gap between Blues music and a new generation of rock and roll musicians.
