Description

The History Of Rock (Complete set of all 40 volumes of the Orbis Publishing 'History Of Rock', with each [mostly - 38] double LP volume featuring a collection of classic recordings by the original artists from Elvis, through The Beatles, Rock, Glam, Punk & The Sex Pistols to Elvis Costello. Each volume has a similar style gatefold picture sleeve with extensive sleeve notes inside. The Beatles' volume is of particular interest as the second disc contains the Hollywood Bowl recordings from 1964 & 1965. 


This set belonged to my father who never played them, they were stored in a cupboard. I have listed them as new as they have not been used, so are in mint condition.  The sleeves are in great condition though are no longer snow white, due to age, but have no rips, rears, stains etc.
