An Octopus Publishing imprint is set to publish a book with BBC Radio 6 Music showcasing 500 "tracks you need to know.”
Cassell Illustrated will release BBC Radio 6 Music’s Alternative Jukebox: 500 Extraordinary Tracks You Need to Know on 6th October 2014.
The imprint’s commissioning editor Hannah Knowles acquired worldwide publishing rights to the title from the BBC.
The book will draw on Radio 6’s pool of knowledge and experience to provide “an alternative offering to the mainstream music most radio stations offer, bringing the reader an authoritative guide to 500 alternative classic songs and the stories behind them.”
It will also feature contributions from the station’s presenters and producers.
Knowles said: “6 Music is an oasis of authentic, non-mainstream music in an otherwise largely homogeneous landscape. It’s a real privilege to be publishing a book that celebrates the station’s passion for real music.”
