Full of great full colour high quality photographs and images of the very various artists covering a wide range of genres, American and British mixed.
A lot of the photographs, matt finish, are album covers but others are most like archival promotional shots.
A real blast from the past and not just photographs but for those who like to read as well, interesting comments and comparisons made between the artists, such as the discussion on paper comparing the folkies - which are the country rock bands such as Eagles.
I could give an index listing but instead here is a list of artist photographs/discussions as I flick through the book, this list is not complete but just gives an idea of the content.
Kiss, The Lettermen, Eric Carmen, Mink DeVille, Everly Brothers, Tommy Roe, 1910 Fruitgum Company, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Fugs, Cream, Zappa, Tiny Tim, Patti Smith, Lennon, Dave Clark Five, Rolling Stones, Bowie, Stranglers, Ramones, Aerosmith, Grace Jones, Janis Joplin, Mamas & Papas, Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, Wild Cherry, Target, Bob Marley and a lot more
So you can see this book covers a very wide range of musical styles but all classic Baby Boomers stuff and the book certainly looks and feels true to the times.
