Synopsis

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.

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.
