Classic Albums

Publisher: New Holland Publishers

From the Beatles’ ‘White Album’ in 1968 to Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 1973, this eclectic group of records had a huge influence on the prevailing pop culture of the late 1960s and early 1970s – and making the Top 40 and receiving a gold record were not the only measures of success.

Respected author Alan J. Whiticker (British Pop Invasion) looks at the impact these classic albums had in an era when vinyl ruled … and how their legacy lives on in subsequent generations.
