The aim of this book is to provide a complete handbook of information and opinion about the history of the music of the 1960s. There are over 1000 entries on the bands, musicians, songwriters, producers and record labels of this decade, everyone who had any significant impact on the development of rock and pop music. From the Beatles-led British invasion of America to the States' own pop figures such as the Beach Boys, from the rise of Motown and Atlantic, to the arrival of psychedelia, this encylopaedia aims to answer any query about any aspect of 60s music. As well as the giants of the decade, the book also includes those artists who flourished briefly such as Scott McKenzie and Annette Funicello.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This one's great!,
By KOSTAS EFMORFIADIS (Athens,Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Virgin Encyclopedia of Sixties Music (Virgin Encyclopedias of Popular Music) (Paperback)
This is easily the best 60's music reference book.It covers all the obvious supergroups,but also the one-hit wonders & even some of the obscure garage/psychedelic groups.You can disagree with the star ratings for each records,but the reviewer tries to be objective & it's really useful for the casual user.Of course the reviews are a summary(how many pages would be enough to cover the Beatles or the Stones?) & the emphasis is in mainstream groups,so it's not enough for the serious 60's collectors (try "a tapestry of delights" for great lost U.K. gems or "fuzz,acid & flowers" for the U.S.A. scene),but for most music lovers,this is a must!
