My name is Terry Hounsome.
I was born in Abingdon Berkshire England, my mother moved
back to Southampton when I was 2 weeks old.
I lived in Southampton for the first 40 years of my life,
I started writing, compiling and publishing rock discography
books in 1978 when my first effort the little known Rock Master was spawned.
It was a terrible heap of crap to be honest and it was difficult to give
them away. I learned my lesson made sure that the next book was more comprehensive
and complete. This was the first Rock Record in 1979, An A5 self printed
book which sold far more copies than I ever could have dreamed at that
time.
I signed a publishing deal with Blandford press and they
published the next 3 books "New" Rock Record 1/2/3, these were
published in the USA by fact on file with in some cases a different cover
1988, when I moved to west Wales. I started my own publishing
business in 1990 and published Single File. In 1991 I regained the rights
from Blandford Press and published the 4th edition of Rock Record.
1994 saw the 6th edition of Rock Record.
I was approached by a small computer company to produce
a CD ROM version of the books in this was first published in 1995 as Hounsome's
Rockbase and RockBaseplus 2 in 1996
The 7th edition of Rock Record is the latest book
From 1998 I have been publishing the CD ROM. Rockfile 3,
