LOST OR FORGOTTEN OLDIES VOLUME 1

I had requested this book in my hopes of remembering/rebuilding my father's old LP collection. My first memories were of playing his records (and of course getting yelled at) and he had a lot of oldies. I can remember the album covers/record labels but am still on the hunt. While a fairly simple book with list of great songs and history, I definitely was not familiar with most of the songs and had a lot of fun looking them up for a listen.

This had some interesting background information on a lot of groups I did not know a lot about. Some of the information was very interesting and surprising. This is a pretty fast read. If you are into music trivia you will probably enjoy this book.

I don’t recognize all of the songs but learning the history makes me want to links provided for some of them. People will recognize some and not others but the history given will keep them reading,

100 per cent a walk down memory lane, hot after hit after hit dissected... sometimes with familiar stories (you can skip over them), other times with tales you've never heard and probably wouldn't believe if you had. It took me a while to get through the entire book, mainly because there were so many songs mentioned that I wanted to listen to after reading. Recommended!

This was very short, but also very enjoyable. I've always been a music junkie, so this is the kind of book that I geek out over. It was fun to learn more about a lot of these songs that I didn't know before. I'm looking forward now to reading Volume Two.

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Netgalley, in exchange for a fair review.

i really enjoyed reading this book, it was cool to read some of the music history and trivia in the book. It was a good read and made me really nostalgic.
