Time-Life Album Discography, Part 26:
Guitar Rock

By Mike Callahan, David Edwards, and Patrice Eyries
Last update: February 18, 2008




The Guitar Rock series has been one of the most popular sets that Time-Life ever issued. The original R968- set had at least 27 volumes issued, and was preceded by at least two prototype sets, as well as spinning off several volumes of 12-track budget CDs, sold in stores and known as "retail versions" at Time-Life. Starting around 2000, the Guitar Rock series has been reissued on Warner's Flashback label with new cover art work.










The sales pitch in 1996 came in an envelope with a series of poses by a wild-haired guitarist. Inside was a letter and a "just punch out this card and send it in" pitch for the first volume at half price, sent on "approval," meaning you could return it within ten days and pay nothing, not even the return postage.
