The Eighties
Paperback
Publication Date: 16/02/2006
Book & CD. "I want to be the guy who puts back into print the bands all the other rock anthologies strip out when their careers are deemed too unimportant. Nobody cares?! I care!" (Martin Popoff) "The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal" was a 540 page mammoth of a book crammed with 3700 reviews of metal albums through the decades. It elicited tons of discussion, including dozens of reviews and close to 70 fan evaluations at the book's Amazon page and counting. Now it is being split in three and, along the way, more than doubled in size and scope. The long-awaited and most-requested "The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal - Volume 2: The Eighties" is Martin's most ambitious undertaking since the legendary original volume. Martin stuffs the pages full of reviews and recollections of hundred upon hundreds of rarities and monster catalogues from '80s bands not covered in the seminal original tome. As well, many of the original reviews get complete overhauls as Martin re-evaluates the classics and adds trivia titbits that make these records come to life.
