520  1   $a"Employing over 80 illustrations - many in full
         color - Jim Dawson and Steve Propes trace the 7-inch
         single's origins back to the 1880s, and they explain the
         personality conflicts that led an eccentric, powerful genius
         to develop the 45 into one of postwar America's most popular
         consumer products. They explore how the jukebox, the
         autonomous disc jockey, and payola and artist rip-offs kept
         the 45 at the forefront of rock 'n' roll for 20 years. For
         collectors and trivia hounds, there are also chapters on the
         most valuable (and legendary) 45s of all time, as well as
         the oddities, oddballs, and freak hits that make listening
         to 45s so much fun. All in all, 45 RPM is a breezy and
         informative romp through a time when music rocked our
         world."--BOOK JACKET.
