The definitive history of one of the world's most popular and best-loved musical programmes.
To coincide with the celebrations for the 2000th edition of 'Top Of The Pops' in August 2002, this book opens the lid on the show that has featured major artists from the last 40 years.
From the programme's humble beginnings in 1964 in a converted church in Manchester (The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, Dusty Springfield and the Dave Clark Five were all on the first show) to the highly popular and stylised event that it is today, 'Top Of The Pops' has provided some incredible moments both on and off stage.
Featuring hundreds of anecdotes, from the amusing to the outrageous, this book contains first-hand accounts of performers' experiences of the show. It is a highly-illustrated and authoritative book, packed with exclusive stunning portraits of many performers.
