Hello, can anyone give me an advice for a good book about Chess records group? The most complete, the better!

Cheers!

I got this one just before Christmas, not read it yet but looks good

I've this one I think somewhere on the shelves....

and this one is good....

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soulsville-U-S-Story-Records/dp/0825672848

This is the best book that;s ever likely to be written about Chess records - and by some distance.

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...

Have to agree with you there Tony. It's the one I'd have recommended

I don't have the one Tony recommended otherwise I would have recommended it

Thanks Tony...so, anyone willing to sell me a cheap copy of it?

yes agreed, pretty much definitive

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...

Hello Tony, I agree wholeheartedly. I've read that book several times and highly recommended it.
