520 _aA catalogue of the artist Allen Ruppersberg's collection of recordings, photographs and other ephemera related to the history of Rock and Roll. The book includes a chronological list of 1,500 key recordings and over 600 color illustrations of material from Ruppersberg's collection which he has painstakingly amassed over years of coming flea markets and yard sales. Tracing the origins of Rock and Roll back to the Minstrel days and American popular song just post Civil War, the book includes song books and hymnals from the turn of the century, sheet music and teens magazines all accompanied by a wealth of vernacular photography, a visual history to parallel the recorded history. Part artist's book and part collectors' catalogue, Collector's Paradise is a unique narrative of Rock and Roll and a rich reflection on the history of popular American recorded music.
