THE HISTORY OF ROCK
?
The History Of Rock is a set of forty albums (LP's) that were compiled by Bob Fisher (BBJ International) and published/sold in the UK from 1981 by Orbis Publishing Ltd.
Each of the forty volume set (of which many are double albums) features a collection of classic recordings by the original artists from Elvis, through to The Beatles, including Rock, Heavy, Glam, Punk & The Sex Pistols to Elvis Costello.
Each of the volumes has a gatefold sleeve that contain extensive notes inside.
The Beatles volume is of particular interest as the second disc contains the Hollywood Bowl recordings from 1964-65.
The overall condition of the sleeves is generally excellent with just a little discolouration in the spine edges. On Volume One (as shown in the photographs) there is wear to the top edge.
All of the vinyl discs are in EX condition as they appear to have been barely played.

CONDITION:

I have physically examined every disc. They are all bright, clean and glossy with no visible marks. They pretty much give the appearance of being unplayed. This really is a stunning collection.
One has damage on inside cover only
