Summary: Wish I knew How Good This Book is...
Review: I would love to be able to review this book, but... Amazon (Still!!!) shows this as shipping within 24 hours. Don't believe it, I've been waiting since November and have approved numerous delays, just today I approved another. Just so you know, this book takes 2 months to ship (minimum!), and I still don't know when I'll get it. By the way, same deal for the Encyclopedia of 70s Music.Amazon, it is time to be honest to your patrons, change the estimated shipping date to something realistic!

Summary: This one's great!
Review: 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!
