Unique way of presenting chart history, going right back to my first record buying days! Fascinating to just browse through, or look for significant dates in your life. Also good indexing by song and by artist. Excellent value.

Good condition and good delivery. Will be very useful for references to music dates and groups/singers.

Are you like my wife and I? Do you sit there racking your brains listening when you hear a piece of music you can’t put a name to? Here’s the answer. Once you start into this book you spend lots of time looking at all kinds in the book, we go from one to the other in that braid that music weaves. A very enjoyable experience.

I don’t think that it was made clear in the description that the second-hand book” Singles up to the present day” was 10 years old.

Great history of music. Good memories.

Interesting comparisons between US and UK charts I would have preferred a week by week comparison but that would have been a very large book.
by Steve Wells
Great Book lists all the charts, but only monthly and not weekly as I had expected
