The Essential Rock Discography 1st Edition Reviews

The last word in rock 'n' roll trainspotting * * Guardian * *
A stunning tome . . . 10 out of 10 for reference. * * Mojo * *
A Herculean labour of love . . . Strong should provide hours of useful diversion for record collectors. * * Q * *
Insanely meticulous. * * Independent * *
A crucial piece of kit . . . This book will settle arguments, revive old tunes you haven't thought of for years and prove indispensable to anyone kept from sleep by their inability to remember the middle name of the producer of the second Flaming Lips album. * * Sunday Telegraph * *
An extraordinary work of scholarship. -- John Peel
Refreshingly opinionated * * Guardian * *
