Product Description
Prepare to be stunned, amazed and intrigued! The contents of this book could seriously alter your views of the sixties - even if you were there. Collecting the true stories, gossip and details of 500 of the singles that failed to dent the top 10, yet are still worthy of inclusion in a volume such as this, goes to show how much of a melting pot of talent, creativity and energy the decade really was. But just how exciting can a book about 500 dollops of black plastic be? Read on through the decade and find out for yourself. It's not just the groove, but in the grooves that you'll find the magic. Nuggets of information and connections between artists, producers and songwriters that you've either never known or forgotten about - depending on your age - offer a unique insight into the careers and artistic development of key (and not so key) performers over the ten years in question. This book is just great to dip in and out of. It's brilliantly designed with picture sleeves, labels or pictures of every artist. It is a book for collectors or anyone who loves popular culture.

Sounds interesting but these kind of books always frustrate me because then I want to hear everything they've written about. This needs a companion CD. With 500 songs discussed, make that several companion CDs.
