When Columbia released The Voice of Frank Sinatra in 1949, the album format was born. Using this as a starting point, The MOJO Collection charts the evolution of the L.P. over seven decades, through reviews of much-loved classics and little-known masterpieces, right up to Coldplay's acclaimed A Rush of Blood to the Head, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, and Norah Jones's Come Away With Me. Revised, redesigned, and expanded for the first time, this collection now contains over seven hundred specially commissioned reviews by forty of the world's top music journalists. These reviews offer fascinating, surprising, and authoritative new perspectives into the genesis and importance of each album. Every entry comes with recording and production details and much more. The page layout and indexing systems have been thoroughly redesigned for user-friendliness, so readers can follow clear signposts to similar albums, contemporary works, and artists' influences. As a new feature, Top Five albums from various artists, along with billboard statistics from down the years are interspersed throughout. Articles on areas of music that didn't revolve around the L.P. format, plus a listing of essential sound tracks and the hundred greatest compilation albums of all time, add even more.
