The 516 page TeenBeat Mayhem A to Z discography of 45s (and more!) from the U.S.A is now ready for perusal!
It is available, cost free. One pdf file, with three separate sections:
The A to Z discography, the song title index with vote tally results, and Top 18,300+ song listing from first to worst.
To hinder any free-share cut & paste borrowing for other on-line pages, an unobtrusive watermark has been added to each page. Likewise, the pdf is locked - read-only. Select 200% zoom for a perfect viewing size.
First Things First -
You might want to download this rather large pdf file to your computer, laptop or tablet...a phone may be somewhat inconvenient.
If you did not buy either TeenBeat Mayhem book, be sure to read the section introductions, "Last Time Around", and "Now Who's Good Enough".
Please don't e-mail about something that can be readily answered by carefully reading through them.
Undocumented songs deemed "TBM-worthy" continue to be brought forth. To that extent... Feel free to contact us with any potential additions, suggestions and corrections to existing entries. If you have proof of, say, a verified locale, please provide your source of evidence: newspaper article (publication and date)... published interview (book title, 'zine title, etc..)... direct comment from a group member posted on a website (source link, title/address). This way I can substantiate and document the information accordingly. Citing a Youtube song clip random comment, or stating that "Discogs shows..." is not sufficient.
Regarding missing song descriptions and ratings...This is a work in progress. My free time is nowhere near as plentiful as it was years ago when writing and compiling the books. It required nine years to prepare this pdf following publication of the Beyond TeenBeat Mayhem supplement in October, 2015. Nonetheless, I will continue to incorporate missing information, and add corrections. A new, updated pdf file will then replace the current pdf file. So, if you are a die-hard collector or fanatic, just download the new version and delete the old one when the time comes. I'll announce an update here on the TBM site. I would estimate a minimum of six months or more until any future update is ready.
Other relevant concepts are noted on the blog welcome page.
I hope you'll enjoy utilizing the A to Z discography, song title index /vote tally results, and Top 18,300+ song ranking. We've worked very hard to ensure it as a reliable, trustworthy resource. I'm sure you will find the pdf file much easier to use, view, search and reference. And there are no printed pages to wear down and fall out of the binding from repeated use!
