MOJO -- the U.K.'s leading rock magazine -- has commissioned over forty of the country's most respected music journalists to select these albums and reassess their significance and place them in the pantheon of popular music.

In each instance the journalist has created new and original reviews, interviewing many of the people involved in the recording -- artists, engineers, producers, and songwriters -- and offering fresh insight into why these albums remain classics.

In addition, The MOJO Collection features extended essays on selected genres: "The Easy Life" -- lounging and collecting the music it spawned; "The Single Life" -- reggae, the music that didn't believe in the album; "100 Great Soundtracks" -- music to watch flms by; "100 Great Compilations" -- the best of the best ofs.

Offering a unique history of the evolution of the LP, The MOJO Collection is an essential purchase for anyone who loves music.
