If you're like BAD music, this helps you pick targets,
This review is from: Hollywood Hi-Fi: Over 100 of the Most Outrageous Celebrity Recordings Ever! (Paperback)
As the other reviewer noted, there are some editing glitches, but for $10, well worth the money for the discography information. A friend of mine turned me onto glorious tripe music (A Hugo & Luigi Roulette 45, "Rockabilly Party") that started me, and, o'course, the FOUR Rhino Bros.' GOLDEN THROATS comps, which corrupted me sliding down, down, down into the audio septic tank hearing David Hasselhoff, Telly Savalas, Nimoy, and Shatner's music (muse-ick?), and more. This nifty little 125 page booklet packs a lot of information, and dare I say the listing for Robert Mitchum's 1957 Calypso Capitol album alone is worth the price of the book. Think Mitchum going head-to-head with all those Harry Belafonte folk (er, Belafonte? Folk? New York studio orchestras make folk music???) RCA albums. There's so much more!

Worth it for $.01 but missing pages,

This is a very funny book. But several of the writeups end mid-sentence. Not sure what happened in production. Still, worth reading. Don't know if the companion LP is available anywhere, but I'm about to start looking around.
