ONE-RECORD WONDERS: THE NEW BOOK IS HERE! GET YOUR COPY TODAY!

After endless rounds of nonsense with the printer! After months of writing and revision! After a whole lotta effort--here it is! This 338-page book profiles 100 artists who only got to make one seven-inch single. In a few cases, it's easy to see why, but in the majority of the records and performers feted here, they had a lot more to offer, talent-wise, than one measly li'l 45.
In the same short-essay format seen on our regular posts, the book divides its 100 subjects into three categories: girl groups and female performers, male rock 'n' roll/pop and rhythm and blues/soul. Profusely illustrated, and with an online playlist of all recordings discussed in its pages, it contains some familiar items for longtime followers of this Frank's Jukebox thing and several new-to-this-book records. 

Bathroom reading at its finest, this new tome may also prove an enlightening tour through the shadow-world of popular music: all the talented, hopeful performers who got far enough up the ladder to make a record, gave it their best shot, and...well, you know. 

The greatest challenge in writing this book was that every story has the same basic outcome. I did my best to bring variety to these accounts of great records that just didn't make it. I think you'll find, as have I in discovering and appreciating these recordings, that some of them will become major hits on your personal Hot 100.
