Extracts
taken directly from the pages of Rock’n’Roll Unravelled

These extracts are taken directly from the book, rock’n’roll from its roots to mid-1970s punk – RocknRoll Unravelled Extracts.

Part 2 of Rock’n’Roll Unravelled – It Happened On This Day – identifies the key events in rock’n’roll history on a day-by-day, 1 January to 31 December basis.

These EXTRACTS from Rock’n’Roll Unravelled are not a complete listing for the artist or event but are intended to give a flavour of how the book builds up a vivid picture of rock’n’roll, from its roots to mid-1970s punk.
The extracts are also often the basis for author Derek Shelmerdine‘s fortnightly guest appearance on the Mop Tops and the King radio show. As the name suggests, a show dedicated the The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
