The All-New Fifth Edition, 846pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "All new and bigger than ever, THE TROUSER PRESS GUIDE TO '90s ROCK definitively covers 2,300 of this decades most innovative and influential artists, reviewing 8,500 records--insanely obscure and familiar alike--from all over the world. Each insightful entry contains pungent critical analysis, biographical information and a complete album discography." [publisher copy] "Robbins has edited the definitive guide to rock in the Nineties. Designed not as an update but as a companion to the fourth edition of The Trouser Press Record Guide from 1991, which covers rock to 1990 and is now available on the web, the book concentrates on the explosion of bands in the wake of Nirvana. Leaving mainstream rock workhorses such as Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, and Bon Jovi for the next Rolling Stone Album Guide, this work deals with the new directions rock has taken by covering hundreds of bands from Mudhoney to Yo Yo, from Beck to the Wipers. More than 50 reviewers provide generally incisive descriptions, placing the Nineties output of rap, alternative, punk, and metal acts in musical and historical context without pigeonholing. Robbins and his fellow contributors give readers an exciting view of the rock renaissance in its various forms during the last six years. Essential for anyone interested in rock'n'roll."--Library Journal. "Still the most comprehensive guide through the labyrinth of indie and alternative rock. When you need a refresher course on all of Steve Albini's bands, or if you just want to know what Boy George did after Culture Club, this is the book to grab."--David Browne, Entertainment Weekly. "The only book you need to satisfy all your obsessive/compulsive rock'n'roll shopping and collecting information needs."--Legs McNeil, Please Kill Me. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
