Synopsis

This volume celebrates 101 seminal rock n roll records, from the Beatles 1963 debut through the Sex Pistols 1977 classic Never Mind The Bollocks. The blue-chip artists are there, but this thoughtful book is also peppered with lesserknown nuggets and underexposed musicians. The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd rub elbows with Laura Nyros More Than a New Discovery and Pentangles Sweet Child. An essay on each title accompanies reproductions of the original vinyl album cover artwork, with many rare variations from around the world. Also included are intimate interviews with rock n roll royalty, with artists revealing the albums

About this title

Review:

101 Essential Rock Records: The Golden Age of Vinyl from The Beatles to the Sex Pistols is a lavish, oversized production packed with color album covers inside and out and notes on every page providing background, history and facts about the record's evolution. Also included is a photo of the record inside, as well as the front, back and interior covers of each vinyl record. Accompanying notes provide insights into the evolution of the group or individual, the record's critical reception, and its overall impact in the rock music world. What sets this apart from other coverages is its attention to detail: both front and back album jackets as well as many inside shots are included, along with photos of the record itself. Notes are well detailed, critical, and important keys to understanding the place of the album in the music world as a whole. Kudos! --Midwest Book Review, February 2013 Music Shelf - California Bookwatch
