People From Aylesbury
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Greatest Hits (Bucks Fizz Album)
Greatest Hits is a greatest hits album by the British pop group Bucks Fizz. It was released in November 1983. Overview This was the first singles collection by Bucks Fizz - released just under three years after their formation. By this time, the group had accumulated 11 hit singles - 3 of them No.1s and 9 of them top 20 hits. The album featured new singles, " When We Were Young", " London Town", " Rules of the Game" and a new song, "Oh Suzanne". The album fared disappointingly on the charts compared to previous albums as it fought against other albums in the Christmas rush. Originally on its run up to Christmas it had stalled at No. 38, but later rose again - to No.25 - in January. The album remained on the charts for 13 weeks. The album was backed by an advertising campaign, which included TV. The album was released on CD a few months later in 1984 and became one of the earliest CD releases by RCA.

Rules Of The Game (song)
"Rules of the Game" is a 1983 single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. It fared poorly in the UK Charts, becoming their first single to miss the top 40. Overview The song was written by Warren Harry (under the name Warren Bacall), who had written their top 10 hit " When We Were Young" a few months earlier. It was produced by Brian Tench with co-production by Andy Hill. Released in November 1983, it proved to be one of the group's least successful singles, peaking at No.57. Despite this, it remained on the Top 100 Chart for 10 weeks. The record's chart failure was commented on by the group some months later, with member Jay Aston stating; "It didn't get played. It came out a bit too soon after ' London Town' and got a bit lost among the Christmas stuff". Bobby G agreed that the record company was putting out too many singles at the time, "We gave them a lot of material and record companies, being what they are, released it." Following this they decided simply to not give any of their ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
