The Continuous History Of Rock And Roll #20 "L.A. Rock - Re-Visited"

The Continuous History Of Rock And Roll was a pioneering syndicated radio series produced by Rolling Stone Magazine in the early 1980s. This particular installment, number 20, was released in 1982 under the catalog number RSMP 82-20. The program was conceptualized as a comprehensive audio documentary, aiming to provide listeners with a curated, journalistic look at the evolution of various rock subgenres and regional music scenes.

The episode focused on the development and subsequent shifts in the Los Angeles rock scene, a recurring subject for the magazine's writers. By leveraging the Rolling Stone brand, the production utilized professional archival research to contextualize the narrative, which was designed for broadcast syndication on radio stations across the United States. It remains a representative example of the era's commitment to high-production-value music journalism before the proliferation of specialized cable music television.
