NP: Cobra, 1978. Softcover. Good with offsetting to the covers and tape reinforcing the spine. In beige wraps.. 8vo. Perfect bound. 168 pp. With cover photos of Betty Davis, Tina Turner and Sonia Kristina of Curved Air. One of a handful of editions of buyers guides to illicit rock, pop, soul, and punk bootleg recordings. Hot Wacks was first issued in 1975. The first edition, which consisted of two volumes, had a run of only 500 copies. Since then the press runs have steadily increased as has the size of the book. These guides were originally mimeographed and stapled, then semi-professionally printed, and sold by bootleggers and collectors, usually advertised in the back pages of rock and underground magazines. They list the titles, tracklists, and sources of the records, some cover illustrations, as well as commentary on the sound quality. These guides, with illustrations of impossible to find albums, are a critical piece of vinyl rock history.
