{"product_id":"the-virgin-discography-mark-jones-9781909953000","title":"The Virgin Discography: the 1970s","description":"The Virgin label began with an eclectic and esoteric mix of left-field artists, including Mike Oldfield, Gong, Faust, Tangerine Dream and Henry Cow. Many of the resulting LPs are now considered to be important cultural reference points - is there anyone who hasn't heard of Tubular Bells? In 1977 Virgin signed the Sex Pistols. A horde of punk and new wave bands followed, such as XTC, Magazine, The Ruts and - as the Sex Pistols imploded - PIL. Following this, the iconic Front Line label was responsible for some of the best reggae ever heard, from artists such as U-Roy, Tapper Zukie, I-Roy, Keith Hudson, The Gladiators, Culture and the Twinkle Brothers. This book covers the 'classic' years and is an absolute must for anyone with half an ear open - let's face it, during the 1970s Virgin defined the nation's - if not the world's - musical taste. All known releases on Virgin and related labels are documented here - from Tubular Bells to numerous forgotten gems that deserve much greater recognition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909953008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909953000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Record Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.30d","brand":"Mark Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074102784255,"sku":"9781909953000","price":22.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36043231-e4c3-491a-806e-7e2191dc081f.jpg?v=1685451795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-virgin-discography-mark-jones-9781909953000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
