Publisher's Synopsis
The first "NME" album charts were dominated by soundtracks from musicals such as "Porgy and Bess" and "West Side Story", but the later ones demonstrate how the rock 'n' roll generation became consumers with large amounts of disposable income. Illustrated with over 150 photographs, this book shows how listening habits have changed over the years by presenting complete "NME" album-chart listings from 1963, when the first one was published.
