50 Years of Gibson's Stylish Solid Guitar-To many vintage Guitar fans it seems inconceivable that Gibson dumped the Sunburst Les Paul in 1960 and during the following year introduced a completely new design the one that we know now as the SG (?solid Guitar?). At the time however it made good business sense. Sales of the Les Paul were faltering and Gibson decided to blow a breath of fresh air through its solidbody electric Guitar line. The company described the result as an ?ultra-thin hand-contoured double-cutaway body.? The modernistic amalgam of bevels and points and angles was a radical departure and this new book tells the story of all the SG models that followed: the Junior Special Standard Custom and more. There are interviews with and stories about Gibson personnel through the years and all the major SG players including Pete Townshend Frank Zappa Eric Clapton Angus Young George Harrison Gary Rossington Tony Iommi and Derek Trucks. In the tradition of Tony Bacon's bestselling series of Guitar books The SG Guitar Book is three great volumes in one package: a collection of drool-worthy pictures of the coolest Guitars; a gripping story from the earliest prototypes to the latest exploits; and a detailed collector's database of every production SG model ever made.

Acquired wisdom has always put Sgt. Pepper at the head of the class but it was Revolver that truly signalled The Beatles' sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before Rubber Soul but came to fruition on Revolver which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce far more than any rock record before it.The making of Revolver hunkered down in Abbey Road with George Martin is in itself a great Beatles story but would be nothing if the results weren't so impactful. More than even Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds Revolver fed directly into the rock 'n' rollzeitgeist and its influence could be heard everywhere: from the psychedelic San Francisco sound (Jefferson Airplane Grateful Dead); to the first wave of post-blues hard rock (Sabbath Zeppelin); through movie soundtracks and pretty much everything that followed it including every generation of guitar-based pop music and even heavy metal. More than any record before or after Revolver was the game-changer and this is finally the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.
