paperback. Zustand: Fine.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st printing of the revised First Fireside Edition 1994, Not PoD, 600pp. Clean & tight copy, unmarked & unread, in Very Good condition w/pages uniformly aged into a sandy-rust color, still brightly legible. Lists "from The Beatles, James Brown, The B-52's and Brand Nubian to Elvis Presley, Prince, Pearl Jam and Public Enemy, all you'd ever want to know about the rockers and the rappers, the music and the madness, the winners and the sinners, the hits and the misses. . ." & lists like "She's Your Lover Now: Best Non-Dylan Dylan Records," "21 Rockers, Rappers and Poppers Who'd Lose to Beavis & Butthead in a Meeting of the Minds," "Famous Musicians Who Have Appeared on U.S. Postage Stamps," "Chuck D Picks 11 Hip-Hop Albums That No One Can Do Without," & "Songwriters Who Never Wrote a Song." [publisher copy] "A book of lists seems an extremely lightweight way to comprehensively cover anything, but there's surprising substance to this volume. What sets it apart from other rock-trivia titles is authority (Marsh is rock's most prominent critic; hip-hop expert Bernard provides street credibility), attitude (the often irreverent lists diss nearly everyone), entertainment value (it's more rewarding to read about than listen to The 40 Worst #1 Hits), and some genuinely useful facts (though lack of an index makes them all but inaccessible). The hundreds of entries (many by critics, musicians, and other industry figures) appear in such categorical chapters as 'Firsts and Debuts,' 'Hits and Flops,' and 'History' (i.e., lists like 'Worst Career Moves,' which includes 'Michael Jackson invites his playmates to spend the night'). Sure, it's a new edition of a decade-old title, but it has been thoroughly overhauled, and given the trendy nature of the subject matter, libraries [& rock fans] that own the original should grab the new book to cover such interim developments as MTV, rap, and alternative rock."--Booklist. VG paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable for a 32-year-old pulpy trade paperback.…
