The Blues Roots of the Rolling Stones by Rolling Stones Price: £3.98 Customer Review: Not a Rolling Stones album of course, but a fascinating source of information and exploration for anyone interested in finding out about the music that influenced the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World (and should'nt that be Rhythm & Blues Band anyway?) when they were just a group of music... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Anthology Of American Folk Music (Edited By Harry Smith) by Various Artists Price: £75.39 Customer Review: Some of the songs in this massive collection make you shake your head with wonder - surely this one can't have been released as a record for people to buy in a record shop?
