... all very different. The poor people wear traditional Victorian clothes. The women wear long dresses. The wealthy women carry parasols. The men wear old fashioned suits. One of the characters is a sailor and he wears a Victorian Naval uniform. The sets are fairly elaborate. Sweeney's barber shop is above the bakery. His barber chair flips back to send the dead bodies of his victims downstairs so Mrs. Lovett can prepare them for the pies. My favorite song is the title song, "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".

... was unjustified when Charly shot to No 1 in the National Dance Charts and to no3 in the Gallup Top 40. 'Charly' inspired a string of copycat records, and triggered the notoriously heated 'is rave dead' debate. Amid all the furore it was easy to miss the fact that Charly was one of the most successful dance records of the time, and far better than any of the opportunist tunes that came in it's wake. Twenty-two year old Liam Howlett is the musical force behind the Prodigy sound, although there are three other members who contribute to the live performance - Maxim Reality, Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint Liam was onc ...

... by many to be the best in the history of rock 'n' roll. They began as a group who would play in pubs and try their best to entertain the crowd.
