For a hardcore music junkie (in the US, at least), one of the most important tomes to be able to lay your hands on back in the day. This is the 1996 edition, but that had to be towards the end of it. I know I was drooling over it as far back as 1990, maybe even '88 or '89?

I had some of these! I studied them carefully. Along with this one.

I wonder if I might still have a couple CD International copies, stashed away in a box somewhere...
