Why am I pointing you towards Sweden's finest furniture emporium? Simple really, you will need a strong coffee table to bare the weight of this bible-esque tome.

 

Clocking in at just under 1200 pages, this is the first volume in a projected series of discographies dealing with the initial era of Punk Rock. Fully annotated with descriptions and colour images of every release included - this is staggeringly detailed. Unquestionably worth the money for those interested in the vinyl documentation of the era.

 

So what do you get?  Well in a nutshell; 2000+ artists, 3000+ singles, 4500+ picture sleeves and labels in full colour, Hits, Failures and Obscurities. Demo's, Promo's and Worldwide Pressings. Line-ups, Histories and Futures as well as Rarity and Collectability Ratings.

 

I know it's only August but "you know what" is just about to rear its ugly tinsel clad head, so give yourself a head start for once. Here's the important link again. '45 Revolutions'

 

Needless to say, there's still been plenty of quality product being added from all corners of the globe, so check out my latest arrivals page for all the up-to-date goodies.

Have a cool weekend.
