Internet: rock 'n' roll back
By LEE RANDALL, 17 May 2008
Website of the week
www.rocksbackpages.com
WITH ITS CRISP DESIGN and clean pages, this website's a dream to use and a boon to everyone who's keen on popular music, thanks to a library of more than 12,000 articles, reviews and audio files dating from the 1950s to the present, by some of the most respected names in journalism. Much of the content has to be paid for though a year's subscription is only £30. And every week a selection of articles is put up in the free section, yours for the taking once you've logged in. Whether you're passionate about the Pistols or Presley, there's something here for everyone.
