[P]riceless for those with a hunger for facts, Cossar's certainly come up with the goods. --Record Collector

This is the essential guide to the history of music-related events. Each page of the book presents a day in a year and lists the momentous musical events that have taken place on that day worldwide in the last 50 years - including births, deaths, marriages, number one singles, arrests, drug busts, famous gigs, awards ceremonies, trivia and much more. Trivia featured includes: Simon Cowell turned down signing the Spice Girls and Take That. In 1964, police were called after passing motorists had complained of women indecently exposing themselves at a hotel swimming pool. The 'women' turned out to one The Rolling Stones sunbathing. "This Day in Music" is guaranteed to be a must-have book for any discerning music fan.
