Here's a "Books You Can Dance To: The Best Books Ever Written About Pop Music" from Simon Frith, though I neglected to write a where or when on the margin when I clipped it; I'm guessing The East Bay Express in the mid to late '80s. Obv. there are more than six, and include a couple that Mark listed already:
--Nik Cohn Awopbopaloobopaloopbamboom: Pop From The Beginning (1969), which I'm guessing is just a retitling of Rock From The Beginning. --George Melly Revolt Into Style (1970) --Alfred Wertheimer Elvis '56 --Paul Nelson and Lester Bangs Rod Stewart (1981) --Mark Shipper Paper-Back Writer (1977) --Phil Hardy and Dave Laing The Encyclopedia of Rock --Fred and Judy Vermorel Starlust (1985) --Kenneth Pitt David Bowie: The Pitt Report (1983) --Neil Tennant Smash Hits Yearbook 1983 --Greil Marcus Mystery Train (1975)
