I bought this book almost (wow) 5 years ago when it went to press, and plus it was my second Record Research book to own. I own a lot of Record Research books now, and this is the definite guide to album tracks that never made the Hot 100, or in any other format. You can find the complete (yet outdated) listings for U2, AC/DC, REM, Psychedelic Furs, you name it.

That's the only way to describe my copy of this book. It's been thumbed through and pored over so much over the past ten years that I fully expect it to give up the ghost and start dropping pages any day now. When I first found this book at Joseph Beth Booksellers, I sat down and paged through it in the store. I found it interesting, but I wasn't particularly convinced of the need for it in my collection, mostly due to its size. As the weeks passed, I began to think of things I'd wished I'd looked at with more and more regularity until I found myself at a near fever pitch to get back and buy it. When I finally did, it wasn't there. I eventually managed to get a copy, but now when I see books of this kind, I know to get them on the spot. Another great piece of music reference that I highly recommend if you have an interest in the subject or might develop one later in the day.
