Guest northernmod Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Hello, can anyone give me an advice for a good book about Chess records group? The most complete, the better! Cheers!
Chalky Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I got this one just before Christmas, not read it yet but looks good https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=chess+records&x=14&y=29 I've this one I think somewhere on the shelves.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Chess-Records-Buddy-Guy/dp/1582340056/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296996343&sr=1-8 and this one is good.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soulsville-U-S-Story-Records/dp/0825672848
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 This is the best book that;s ever likely to be written about Chess records - and by some distance. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spinning-Blues-into-Gold-Legendary/dp/0312261330/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296998214&sr=1-5 It;s also the only one to cover the Soul era in any notable depth. The other Chess books really don't make it by comparison...
Dave Rimmer Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Have to agree with you there Tony. It's the one I'd have recommended
Chalky Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I don't have the one Tony recommended otherwise I would have recommended it
Guest northernmod Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks Tony...so, anyone willing to sell me a cheap copy of it?

Kris Holmes Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 This is the best book that;s ever likely to be written about Chess records - and by some distance. https://www.amazon.co...96998214&sr=1-5 It;s also the only one to cover the Soul era in any notable depth. The other Chess books really don't make it by comparison... yes agreed, pretty much definitive
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Nadine Cohodas' book on Dinah Washington, "Queen", is well worth owning, too. That's a bit easier to find being of a more recent vintage...
Guest Paul Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 This is the best book that;s ever likely to be written about Chess records - and by some distance. https://www.amazon.co...96998214&sr=1-5 It;s also the only one to cover the Soul era in any notable depth. The other Chess books really don't make it by comparison... Hello Tony, I agree wholeheartedly. I've read that book several times and highly recommended it. Paul
