Posted February 6, 201114 yr Hello, can anyone give me an advice for a good book about Chess records group? The most complete, the better! Cheers!
February 6, 201114 yr 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
February 6, 201114 yr 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...
February 7, 201114 yr Thanks Tony...so, anyone willing to sell me a cheap copy of it? Hard to find a cheap copy but well spent money : https://tinyurl.com/657xc37

February 7, 201114 yr 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...
