A juicy piece of trivia is like a beautiful fresh cut of protein. It needs to be handled just right. Some fillets of trivia work well as a question, others are best posed as a ‘Did you know’. Some have so much flesh on them that they are better served up as a whole story or essay. That is what you will find between these pages, a smorgasbord of trivia treats to feast upon. Like a buffet on a cruise ship, you can start at the beginning and work your way along, you can push in at any point for the one tasty treat that you want, or you can fill a small plate and come back over and over again.


This is possibly the most complete book of Rock Trivia ever compiled and the morsels will astonish …


Did you know that in 2013 Chubby Checker sued Hewlett-Packard over a 99-cent app called the ‘Chubby Checker’ which allowed users to enter a man’s shoe size to estimate the size of his penis? He claimed that the product would cause damage to his goodwill, tarnishing his image. Trivia with a twist?


Did you know that Charles Manson co-wrote a song for the Beach Boys?


Plus hundreds of questions to tease and expand the mind.


"At last ... a rock trivia book that is not at all trivial! This is a remarkable collection of questions, facts, myths, stories, jokes, riddles and answers. Number one with a bullet!" - Brian Nankervis, ABC Radio and RocKwiz host.


"This is the book that we music trivia nuts have been waiting for. Even if you think you know it all there'll be something that surprises you. Read it from front to back or just dip into it when you need a trivia top up. I love it!" - Murray Cook, The Wiggles, The Soul Movers

John Tait

For sixteen years John Tait ran a record shop in Essendon. When things are quiet in the shop he researched and wrote a number of music related books; Vanda and Young, Captain Matchbox and beyond co-authored with Catherine Fleming and Tait's modern guide to Record Collecting.

On closing the shop, John has continued to buy and sell records at record fairs and markets, but in addition he has had the freedom to travel to exotic location on cruise ships, seek out record shops in foreign lands, and collect scraps of music trivia along the way. You can hear John testing out his trivia material on his radio program Mostly Vinyl.
