Modern pop began in 1952 when the first British chart was published and the first 7' singles were released. It ended (perhaps) in 1995 when Robson and Jerome reached the top of the charts with the first number one not to be available on vinyl since 1953. The internet age ushered in the death rites of over 40 years of pop. This title describes the journey that leads from 'Rock Around the Clock' to 'Crazy in Love'. Bob Stanley documents the rich soundtrack of the last six decades as it has been heard on radios and jukeboxes across the land.
