In 1966, Frank Zappa entered a Los Angeles studio to record his groundbreaking first album, Freak Out! Not only was the result rock's first true concept album, but it was a Statement Of Intent, a shot across the bows of the rock and roll establishment, rock's teenage consumers, conservative American values and more besides. Freak Out! would have major influence on a brewing countercultural movement that would wipe clean and draw again the face of popular music, both in America and elsewhere. In A FREAK OUT IN THE MAKING, Scott Parker tells the story behind the making of this landmark album, examining the songs, the recording sessions, the key players who made the album (including the members of Zappa's Mothers Of Invention), the behind-the-scenes politics which threatened to keep the album from finding its audience and Zappa's ultimate triumph as Freak Out! became recognized as the first truly significant 'underground' rock album.

In his latest book KISS...Documented, Scott Parker examines the various recordings that were made--in both audio and visual formats--of KISS during the years 1970 through 1977, taking a look at the history of the group from their humble beginnings as four struggling New York musicians through to the very pinnacle of rock and roll superstardom. The book features extensive reviews of all live recordings of KISS from this period as well as detailed examinations of their TV appearances, recorded interviews and more. This book is the first part of an ongoing series chronicling the history of The Hottest Band In The World through the recorded documentation of the group.

If I wrote this up I'd pen something like, a boy and his daemon, a girl and her ghost, a tale of black magick rock N roll and love triangles.

During their heyday as mega-successful television and pop music stars in the 1960s, THE MONKEES were often slagged off by critics as a pre-fabricated industry 'product' whose members possessed no special talents. But times have changed, and over 45 years later The Monkees have not only gained critical respectability, but have amassed a loyal following of fans and collectors who treasure every bit of Monkees audio and video that has surfaced over the years. Collecting this material is no easy task. In GOOD CLEAN FUN, Scott Parker takes a look at the audio and visual materials documenting the early history of The Monkees, from the earliest TV work of Micky Dolenz in the 1950s series Circus Boy through to the first break-up of the group in 1970. The book is intended both as a tribute to one of the greatest and most enduring bands of the 1960s and beyond, and to the fans and collectors who adore them to this day.

Frank Zappa could be described as a "pathological contrarian". Far from being a person who aligned himself with the zeitgeist, he was one of rock music's sharpest social critics. In the mid-1960s, as young people were "turning on, tuning in and dropping out" in large numbers, Zappa stood opposed to what he saw as the wasted potential of the hippie movement. This opposition crystalized itself in the third Mothers Of Invention album, We're Only In It For The Money. Framed as a response to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, this album was Zappa's full-frontal takedown of hippie culture, the parents of the hippie kids and their inability to make even the smallest effort to understand the social change occurring all around them. DISCORPORATE! takes the reader on the road to We're Only In For The Money, chronicling the studio work of Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention from September 1966 through September 1967, a period during which Zappa assembled not only We're Only In It For The Money but the second Mothers album Absolutely Free and his first solo album Lumpy Gravy. All of these albums are examined in great detail, including previously-unknown session details and more.
