Description

No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with faint creasing to upper edge and traces of storage. 154pp. This book explores the beginnings of the pop music world as we know it, from the days when a song was written in fifteen minutes or less to the methods applied now by big business. It includes much about the many stars who came to fame by taking a walk down the Alley and is illustrated with photographs and posters that bring the times alive again, from ragtime to Frank Sinatra and Johnny Ray.
