Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This fetching pop-up book promises readers hours of diversion and entertainment. Pull the compact disc out of the back pocket of the blue jeans that cover the front of The Rock Pack and listen to rock pioneers such as Ray Davies and Martha Reeves discuss their experiences while you interact with more than 50 years of rock-and-roll history. By the time you've finished thumbing through the booklets tucked into artfully designed pockets, peering behind posters advertising Otis Redding and Chuck Berry concerts, greeting the Shirelles (who pop up in the sixties), answering the Jimi Hendrix quiz and playing with models of his guitars, and turning a dial to check out Madonna's various incarnations, you'll have a comprehensive view of the evolution of rock-and-roll--from early blues through the erection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. All of the elements that make up this book are held together by a time line that combines information about rock icons, from B.B. King and Ruth Brown to Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam, with information that puts the music in historical context.

Wow! What An Entertaining Book . . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rock Pack (Hardcover)
It's impossible to describe this book completely since so much of what it contains is hands-on interactive material, but I promise the book is WONDERFUL. Every page overflows with movable examples of music memorbilia (everything from a CD player to collectible guitars), pop-ups, miniture books, and more. The CD is outstanding and the text is equally impressive. It's incredible how much went into the production of this book. It covers every era -- a delight to own. My teenagers and their friends can't put this book down, but adults love it equally as much. My husband is a musician (a rather pompous one, but don't tell him I said that!), and even HE loves this book. If you're into collecting Rock and Roll memorbilia, or if you're looking for a great gift for a rock fan, this is a surefire hit. Written by the Curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum and longtime Music Editor of Rolling Stone. Fun!
