For anyone who lived through the early beginnings of Rock N Roll, the 50's and 60's this book is a goldmine. It lists by artists most all of their charted records and some others that might not have made the charts but that were essential to the development of Rock N Roll. It contains many photos, facts about the artists, months and years that the songs were released and the record labels.
I grew up during the 50's and was there when it all happened, so for anyone interested in collecting music from that period, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book....from Amazon.
The book seems also to include non rock n roll artists if they had a chart hit during this time period. Very informative, especially the discographical information.
