The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll

This was a great book for its time and an essential part of my exploration or rock 'n' roll as a teenager. It would still be interesting to anyone wanting to understand contemporary opinion of bands and solo performers of that time.

Describes the stars, fans, promoters, producers, the festivals, disc jockeys, the record industry, and the culture that grew up around rock music.
