The Perfect Collection 1 of 3 by NickVolos

This chart is based on the book "The Perfect Collection" by Tom Hibbert. The book was published in 1982, so the albums included in the book are up to that date. It contains a list of 200 albums but because the author in many cases chooses two albums for an artist, it comes up to a total of 226 albums

I have used this book before the days of internet as a guide. As time allows, I will make an attempt to copy the author's comments under each selection.

The albums in the book are listed in nine chronological sections as follows:

1: PRE-SIXTIES/PRE-POP
Selections 1 through 18 (chart 1 of 3)

2: THE SIXTIES: PRE-BEAT, MOTOWN AND SOUL
Selections 19 through 40

3: MID-SIXTIES/UK
Selections 41 through 59

4: MID-SIXTIES/US
Selections 60 through 84

5: LATE-SIXTIES/UK
Selections 85 through 103 (chart 2 of 3)

6: LATE-SIXTIES/US
Selections 104 through 132

7: THE SEVENTIES/UK
Selections 133 through 156

8: THE SEVENTIES/US
Selections 157 through 196

9: PUNK AND THE EIGHTIES
Selections 197 through 226 (chart 3 of 3)

A great book which I used in conjunction with the NME encyclopaedia of rock when I first started getting serious about music. I love the way Hibbert justifies some of his choices by saying you need some of the worst albums ever made as well, to have the "perfect collection".

Very interesting. And it does show that for the early days you need to include lots of compilations. The art of producing an entire LP of (worthwhile) songs had not been created.

Yep, this is a perfect collection. Hibbert nails the music of this era exactly. I even like his eccentric little personal picks that are more apparent when you see the whole 226. Classy!
