	If you can find them (i.e. they're probably out of print) the
paperback editions of "The Rolling Stone Record Review", volumes I and II,
are quite useful; they are the reviews as they appeared in the magazine.
I don't recall the years that they cover offhand, but a rough guess would
be maybe '67-71' for number 1, and '72-'76 for number 2?  (My copies are
at home, unfortunately.) 

	The books cover mainstream rock, blues, and jazz; but occasionally
something more obscure creeps in.

	Then there's the big red book of record reviews from Rolling Stone;
can't recall the title offhand.  It's got about 10000 quickie reviews.

	Another way to find interesting obscure music is to go to your local
used record shop and read all the credits on whatever you happen to pick up...
and, if the dealer is cool, they'll usually let you listen to a track or two
in the store.
