Story of Pop (Phoebus/BBC)

Phoebus/BBC partwork 1973

From an age when pop really meant something (Remember TOTP every Thursday evening?). Originally billed as 'The First Encyclopedia of Pop in 26 Parts', the editors must have been kicking themselves when they found it still popular towards the planned end. Solution: they carried on with a few more up to Part 40 and then added 12 Specials plus index. There are 4 bound volumes to the full series.

We have a selection of the magazines, some with covers, some without, plus LP and binders
