Vintage Skaterock covers every piece of music written, performed and/or waxed from 1960 till 1979 with any connection to skateboarding. The book comes with a complete discography of all Skaterock songs and records, including all the relevant information a collector (usually) needs (except where to find the rarities!).
The record details are completed with background information about the artist, the song, the record plus a short review of the music itself.
For those who are not interested in record details and stuff like that, there are hundreds of pictures with many colors of all the featured records. The picture sleeves alone would have made a great book. But with all the extra information it´s just incredibly great!! (You also get a lot of that weak humor!)
Another chapter deals with the “History of Skaterock.” It takes a look at the chronological and geographical expansion of Skaterock and offers also some statistics.
