745.0. "HM Encyclopedias ?" by KETJE::VLASIU () Fri Sep 21 1990 10:33

    Maybe there is already a topic on this (so this may be moved to it).
    In "Metal Hammer" they started to publish a HM encyclopedia. I missed
    the first number and only got the second (there will be 13 with a total
    of over 400 pages). It's interesting but they have some missings (no
    Coroner at letter C ???). I'll try to get the first number also or to
    have a copy. Do you know other HM encyclopedias ? I have also (since
    3 years ago) a rock encyclopedia (british) but it lacks very much on
    the new bands and, top of the horror .. they don't mention Scorpions
    nor Accept. The one started in MH is only HM (or related) oriented.

    I've got a brilliant one 'The encyclop... of Hard rock & heavy metal'
    
    It features every band I've ever heard of (plus a lot of the up and
    coming bands).
    
    The problem is it's about 4 years old now, and is a tad out of date.
    
    But if you want ant info, mail me, I'll try and help....
