About the Author

Colin Larkin is one of the world's leading popular-music historians and an incurable music obsessive. In 1989, unhappy that popular music had not been deemed worthy of serious documentation, he set about achieving his vision to creating the pop world's equivalent to Grove, the bible for classical and operatc music. His vast personal archive of music magazines, books and recorded music formed the basis of the original Encyclopedia of Popular Music. He lives surrounded by his garden, his music, his children and his sweetheart, somewhere in Suffolk, England.
