Essential rock'n'roll reads
'The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk' by Paul Grushkin
If the usual tales of worse for wear stars isn’t your cup of tea, why not take a trip to the artistic side of rock? In this fantastic picture book, the iconic tour posters and advertisements are brought out of the dusty archives, making for some interesting snapshots of the many guises of rock.
Psychedelic pop, flower power, metal, blues and plenty more are covered in this comprehensive, beautifully laid out visual history. The book also contains images of the designers themselves and the venues that housed their creations.
Covering the likes of Bob Dylan and Tina Turner and countless more in over 500 glossy pages, ‘The Art of Rock’ is the definitive article when it comes to these often neglected documents. It’s the kind of book that will stay on your coffee table for years, frequently flipped through by nostalgic guests.
