Part visual history, part visceral history, Cult Rock Posters traces the evolution of pop music, from glam to punk to new age, during a turbulent decade.

Author Roger Crimlis, one of Britain’s most renowned collectors of rock posters, shares his own favorites, all in raw, torn-from-the-wall format.
