YOUNG, Bob and Micky MOODY. The Language of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

(London): Sidgwick and Jackson, 1985. First edition. Softcover. 21.7cm by 13.4cm. 175 pages. Cool volume that traces the evolution of rock’s distinctive visual language across blues, hard rock, glam, and heavy metal traditions. Both a celebration of rock mythology and a documentary record of popular music culture, the work reflects the authors’ firsthand experience within the British rock scene (Status Quo, Whitesnake, The Young & Moody Band). The volume is illustrated. A very good copy with cover art by Rob Fletcher.
