The aim of this book is to provide a complete handbook of information and opinion about the history of the music of the 1950s. There are over 1000 entries on the bands, musicians, songwriters, producers and record labels of this decade, everyone who had any significant impact on the postwar music culture which gave birth to rock and roll. From Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry and Frank Sinatra to the Everley Brothers, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Elvis Presley, this encyclopaedia aims to answer any query about any aspect of 50s music. As well as the giants of the decade, the book also includes those artists who flourished briefly such as Frankie Ford and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

This encyclopedia is a good overview of 50s music, but I expected more in-depth analyses of albums and artists. It’s nice to have on the shelf, but I wish it had a bit more substance for serious music fans like me.

Great for Casual Enthusiasts
The Virgin Encyclopedia of Fifties Music is a fun read if you're just getting into the classics of that decade. The layout is nice, but don't expect exhaustive information. Perfect for casual fans!

Nostalgic Treasure for Music Historians
As a collector of music history, The Virgin Encyclopedia of Fifties Music is a fantastic addition to my library. The breadth of artists and songs covered is delightful, and it brings back so many memories. Highly enjoyable!

Disappointed with the Condition on Arrival
I was really looking forward to this encyclopedia, but it arrived with a few pages bent, which was disappointing. The content itself is interesting, but the packaging could have been better. A little let down by delivery.

A Must-Have for Music Lovers!
I picked up The Virgin Encyclopedia of Fifties Music as a gift for my dad, and he loves it! The amount of detail and history covered is impressive, and it makes for great reading. He spends hours flipping through the pages!
