Mojo Collection
Jim Irvin
Organised chronologically and spanning seven decades, “The Mojo Collection” presents an authoritative and engaging guide to the history of the pop album via hundreds of long-playing masterpieces, from the much-loved to the little known. From The Beatles to The Verve, from Duke Ellington to King Tubby and from Peggy Lee to Sly Stone, hundreds of albums are covered in detail with chart histories, full track and personnel listings and further listening suggestions. There’s also exhaustive coverage of the soundtrack and hit collections that every home should have. Like all collections, there are records you listen to constantly, albums you’ve forgotten, albums you hardly play, albums you love guiltily and albums you thought you were alone in treasuring, proving “The Mojo Collection” to be an essential purchase for those who love and live music.
Reviews of Mojo Collection
"A gloriously celebratory guide to the history of pop… If your favourite album isn't listed, it probably means you've got no taste." Independent "This is essential reading for anyone with a record collection." Buzz"
