Ok guysThe book is presented as 'a study of the rise of rock and roll from 1954 to 1971'.Forget about the 'industry's point of view'. It was an akward way to say that for Gillett, managers and record labels mattered very much, especially in these pioneer times.But all along it is nothing but Gillett's point of view.About the list of records I'm posting here (the 'play list' according to Gillett).

I quote'The reasons for including each record vary, but each of them became a part of the background for anyone making records thereafter. Some are here because they brought a new musical idea into the framework of 'rock 'n' roll' -piano boogie, guitar boogie, bass boogie; others redefined the use of an instrument -electric guitar, back-beat drums, electric bass, electric piano. Ad each new way of using a voice is represented by the person who thought of it first, usually their first hit.The list is biased against the real giants of the era -Elvis, the Beatles, Dylan,most Motown artists whose every record tended to be a trigger for a host of imitators (.)Most of the records in the list were best sellers, and they are listed in the chronological order in which they first surfaced on a national chart in the USA (pop, r&b or country & western) or Britain. (.)A few records are listed which were not hits, mostly to represent the first recording of a song which became part of the rock 'n' roll repertoire, but occasionnally to acknoweledge a record whose value was recognized too late to affect its chance of making the charts'. 1965Them - Baby Please Don't Go/GloriaSam Cooke - Shake/A Change Is Gonna ComeThe Temptations - My GirlOtis Redding - Mr PitifulJoe Tex - Hold What You've GotJunior Walker - ShotgunWillie Tee - Teasin' YouSolomon Burke - Got To Get You Off My MindThe Yardbirds - For Your LoveBob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'Sam The Sam & The Pharaohs - Wolly BullyThe Dixie Cups - Iko IkoThe Sir Douglas Quintet - She's About A MoverThe Four Tops - I Can't Help MyselfThe Byrds - Mr. 1968Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The BayThe Delfonics - La La Means I Love YouSly & The Family Stone - Dance To The MusicThe Small Faces - Lazy SundayMerilee Rush & The Turnabouts - Angel Of The MorningSteppenwolf - Born To Be WildCream - Sunshine Of Your LoveThe Band - The WeightThe Beatles - Hey JudeJames Brown - Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm ProudJohnnie Taylor - Who's Making LoveTammy Wynette - Stand By Your ManDiana Ross & The Supremes - Love ChildMarvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The GrapevineFleetwood Mac - AlbatrossTyrone Davis - Can I Change My Mind.
