From the first big hit to a look back on a career, these are the fmest portraits ever collected into one book.
And since the music lives on records, Brock Helander has assembled extensive discographies for each major artist — again, the most authoritative collection of album facts you can find in one book. The result of years of devoted digging, the discographies put complete, accurate information at your fingertips:
• Exact titles, label, label number information
• Date the album was released, so you can place it in the growth of an artist's music
• Listings of "gold" and "platinum" albums Separate listings for reissues and anthologies

Plus: a guide to the availability of each album, and an index to help you find the albums of any group member mentioned in the book. So much more than just a "celebrity" catalog, THE ROCK WHO'S WHO treats the music as it should be. Whether you're a full-time fan, a serious record collector, or one of millions in love with rock, it's a book you'll be using for years to come. Vissza
