I am rapidly disappearing under a pile of popular music books with piano
notations (as well as sheet music for individual songs), and 90% of them are
produced by Wise Publications and are distributed by :-

Music Sales Limited,
78, Newman Street,
London
England
W1P 3LA

Write for a catalogue.

Specific to your request, their "Great Songs Of..." series has a Michael Jackson
book (ISBN 0-7119-0483-9, order no. AM36401). I have the Chicago, Carpenters,
and two Chris de Burgh books from this series and they seem to be pretty
accurate. Wise also do an "ABBA - The Singles" (ISBN 0-86001-837-7, order no. AM
28168). As well as "...The Singles" I also have "ABBA - The Folio" for "The
Album", and I think I have seen a book for "Arrival".
I have books from Wise for The Alan Parsons Project, Boston, REO Speedwagon,
ABBA, Chris de Burgh, The Eagles, Meat Loaf, Europe, AC/DC, Queen, Simon and
Garfunkel...the list goes on.

These are my opinions, and mine only, since no-one ever agrees with me.

Hi. I am learning to play music and need copies of Music Notation of
popular Pop/Rock songs of the 70s and 80s. eg. Madonna, Michael Jackson,
Wham, as well as ABBA and the like. I need them to play on my music
keyboard.

I have searched here but there are few, if any, music notation books with
the songs that I need. The ones that are available have only about 5-6
songs that I need out of the 50 or more available. So I can't afford to buy
the books. If you have such songs notations I really would appreciate
hearing from you as it will be a great help to me in learning to play music.

Please reply to this account or call 212-749-1155 late evenings.

Thanks a lot.
