Peter Bentley's covers for Penguin's 1973 series of Evelyn Waugh novels.
Bentley, along with Michael Farrell and Stewart Burnett set the direction for British graphic design in the early 1970s, influenced in part by the work of Push Pin Studios in the US. Formalism was out, eclecticism was in and both Art Nouveau and Art Deco were firmly back on the menu.
David Pelham had taken over from Alan Aldridge as art director for Penguin Books, and he did an excellent job of keeping the new style within some formal boundaries for the publisher. The Penguin 'look' of the early 1970s is one of the high points of book cover design; varied but still elegant, playful but not completely riotous.

England is the only team to win the World Cup once, no other team has managed that

Don't know if this is common knowledge, but the BBC has produced a spoiler-free link to watch World Cup match highlights without knowing the score.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: we used to sit on the floor to listen to music.

1960s Britain, a place where smartly dressed chaps spent their days in the countryside making cricket bats. 🏏 ⏳️

Ste Whittle RIP. Another silent victim of #Hillsborough. It never gets mentioned. Ste sold his match ticket to a good friend who later died in the disaster. Stephen committed suicide by jumping infront of a train. Before he died he left £61,000 to the H/boro memorial trust fund.
