Music Virgin No More: Confessions Of A Young Record Collector (1979-1982)

By John Schlarbaum

Music Virgin No More is based on the author's youthful memories of Top 40 radio, when he meticulously compiled 106 weekly music charts in his bedroom on a portable typewriter between August 1980 and August 1982.

The music covered became the soundtrack to John's life, as well as others entering high school in 1980 Through song and group analysis, Music Virgin No More will entertain and educate lovers of vinyl, especially those who lived through the early 80s scene.

Filled with personal reflections of growing up in a small rural town, fun facts about your favourite songs, albums and groups, as well as comparisons with local and national charts for the same week, John conveys the joy of record collecting and why certain music had an impact, while others simply became passing fads.
