My books on Buddy Rich

Buddy Rich Discography I compiled this book in 1974. There had been little research on Buddy Rich as a 'solo' artist before this. It was a self-published item and is now very rare since only about 100 copies were printed. It has to be said however, that at 18 years of age, I was rather uninformed and rather over enthusiastic about the subject at the time! It sold originally for £1.50. Occasionally a copy turns up on auction lists. The following advertisement appeared on www.abe.com in 2002. 9. POP or POPULAR MUSIC. BUDDY RICH. COOPER, David J. Buddy Rich Discography. Self-published. 1974. 48pp. 4to PB. Limited edition. Good condition. Bookseller Inventory # 45119 Price: A$ 45.00 (approx. US$ 25.05) Presented by Da Capo Music, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Buddy Rich - A Lifetime of Music This book was researched with the help of my friend John Titsworth. It contains information not only about Buddy's recordings but day by day itineraries and listings of all known printed magazine articles. The book contained largely original research and remains the most comprehensive book on the 'world's greatest drummer'. The book was first published in 1989,1991 (2nd edition) and again by the National Drum Association in the USA as a revised 2nd edition in 1995. Occasionally a copy turns up on auction lists. The following advertisement appeared on www.abebooks.com in 2008.

Buddy Rich - Headlines This 36 page booklet with index, was really the companion to 'A Lifetime of Music'. It aimed to include all the newspapers and other articles about Buddy Rich as well as including any additions to the magazine articles already printed in 'Lifetime'. It was released in 1992.
