Yasuhiro Takeishi, a freelance writer active primarily in fashion magazines, has compiled his private collection of vintage rock T-shirts, gathered over nearly 20 years, into a single volume. The mook, "LISTEN TO THIS T-SHIRT: The Great Book of 20th Century Rock T-Shirts," has been published by World Photo Press.

Official, tour, staff, and bootleg T-shirts galore!

While several books on rock T-shirts have been published before, the collection featured in this volume is particularly noteworthy. It showcases precious T-shirts primarily from the 1970s and 80s. The author, deeply knowledgeable in both vintage wear and music, has systematically collected T-shirts produced during the musicians' active periods. This makes the book highly engaging not only for vintage clothing enthusiasts but also for rock fans.
