Interesting information about various artists. I read this at my computer using Kindle Cloud Reader and played several of the songs referenced in the book as I read about them.

Too Many Obscurities

This is a book for super research oriented audiophile's. Many obscure singles & references. It's thorough in it's descriptions, research & explanations, but some are just too obscure for someone raised on Top 40 & classic rock. It never made me want to search out any of the unfamiliar forgotten oldies.

Great subject for books

If you loved music since you were very young, you will enjoy this book. It brought a couple songs to mind that I had not thought of due to lack of air time.

Fun reminder of music I forgot about

It was a nice read about some music I forgot about. I am not sure how the group's and individuals were picked, but some inclusions didn't quite make sense. You can tell a lot of great research was done.
