The History of Rock magazine came out in 1982. It was a weekly part-work magazine published by Orbis which looked into the 'history' of rock, examining various artists, recording studios and background to the music. With good, detailed information backed up excellent photographs, these magazines are great fun!
In this issue:
- Rock Takes Over - Elvis Presley and rock’n’roll swept the USA in 1956
- Rock ’56 - Diary of the year
- Elvis Goes National - The hillbilly cat became the idol of a generation
- Marketing a Million-Dollar Talent - Colonel Tom Parker - the best hustler of them all
- In the Studio and On the Road - The backing musicians who made the Elvis sound
- ‘Love Me Tender’ - Fan Clubs - innocent diversions or ruthless manipulation?
- Cars and Sex and Rock’n’Roll - Teenage America and the music of the Fifties
The magazine has around 20 pages.
