The Virgin Book of British Hit Albums

Is exactly what he had long sought the British Pop.Perfect for those who like the statistics.Retrospective of 50 years which allows us to success in Britain and not in USA.

This comparison with the Guinness book applies equally to both the Hit Singles and Hit Albums. There is an advantage in having the Singles and Albums in the same book since it gives a more complete picture when researching the history of an artist. The most colourful part of these Virgin books is the cover since the internal print is monochrome. However, this not detract from the main information presentation. Where is does suffer however is where the added information about Silver, Gold or Platinum gains in the British or American charts. Colour does help in this respect. The additional information about certain highlighted artists is better and an additional section relating to downloading has been included. All in all a very comprehensive tool for any Music Programme Presenter to have.

I bought it as a present for my husband together with the Volume 2 (The Virgin Book of British Hit Singles). I was a little concern about the lack of picture and really small print as my husband's eyesight is not that 100% and he is struggling to read some prints. But he was so delighted with those volumes that doesn't mind to use magnofying glass - he says that all what he wanted are there in both volumes- just to recollect the songs, artist and albums through the past years. The price is very good for this too. Five stars from my husband and me.

Unique publication - brilliant for all album lovers.
