This is partially encyclopedia, partially discography of individual artists, groups and songwriters of 1950s pop music, including rhythm & blues, country, rockabilly, and doo-wop, and also includes breakdowns of individual labels, as well -- a very fascinating and incisive look at pop music "pre-Beatles."
Shipping charges include postage (including USPS Tracking on domestic shipments), packaging materials, labor and fuel (the nearest post office is 14 MILES away!); but I do combine shipping charges on multiple items -- so fill up that cart NOW an' save some $$$!
