LILLIAN ROXON'S ROCK ENCYCLOPEDIA. By Lillian Roxon, The Universal Library, Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1974.
 
A best-selling classic covers great rock stars of the past and present, supplementing entries with photographs, discographies, and lists of the top singles yearly and weekly since 1949. The most ambitious book ever written on rock and its roots, an innovative treatment of the generation's heroes-the poets and minstrels of our time. Everyone from Roosevelt Gook to the Beatles.
 
In 1968 Lillian Roxon set out to chronicle the rock scene and counter-culture in what was to be the world's first encyclopaedia of rock music. Lillian Roxon (1932–1973) was a noted Australian journalist and author, best known for Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopedia (1969).
