Another in a long line of books featuring historic images from various photographers who have so diligently documented the rock and roll scene since it's inception all the way back in 1955. This book proves the images of the artists are just as iconic as the music they produced. A stunning collection.

A great proverbial walk down memory lane.
Jam packed with photos - including a great number of non-traditional (i.e. not studio) pics - many of which I'd never seen before. If you're at all interested in the History of Rock, this one is definitely worth a look.
