“What were the top Australian singles (and albums) from 1958 to 1988?  How did AC/DC, The Little River Band, Crowded House, Samurai Trash and The Uncanny X-Men get their names?  Who was the first Australian to sell a million records in the U.K.? What did Prince Charles say to Michael Hutchence after a Melbourne concert?  Who are Australia’s most successful songwriters?  All these, and a thousand other questions, are answered in this ultimate book of rock facts by the great rock historian Noel McGrath.  The stories of the great stars, the great groups and the great happenings in Australian rock are accompanied by a host of photographs.”
