The Rolling stone illustrated history of rock & roll

About this book

A critical history bringing together the work of the finest rock writers in the country; a pictorial record combining scores of long-lost photos from the fifties with the best work of contemporary photographers; a reference book offering superbly detailed discographies on every important performer and genre to have emerged in rock and roll soul music and rhythm and blues over the last twenty years. This is a book of visual elegance and critical intelligence; a combination that in this field has really been attempted and will not soon if ever be surpassed. Designed by Robert Kingsbury
