Customer Reviews

Goldmine Records & Prices
This is a great guide for a begining record collector; given that it lists not only Albums but 45's also. However, for the serious collector or dealer it is inadequate given that MANY artisits are not even included in this publication. If you have just begun to collect vinyl, this book is an outstanding guide to grading your discs, and an overview of how fun (not to mention profitable) record collecting can be. But, for the more serious collector I would suggest purchasing the seperate Goldmine price guides. One for albums & one for 45's. Both are also excellent and much more detailed, not to mention the wider range of artists. If you just want to dabble; this book is okay: but if you want to get serious invest the few extra dollars in the other guides available. Sincerely DAN

Barely for the novice collector...editors may be illiterate.
While I was aware that this guide would not be completely comprehensive because it has both 45s and albums in it, I am very disappointed. Even with some of the more popular groups, the list is not complete. It does say in the table of contents it only has rock and pop, but just make sure you know that this has no jazz at all. Also something that amazed me is that it has a cover of the album "Marquee Moon" by Television on its cover, but DOESN"T EVEN LIST THE BAND inside the BOOK!!! Being that in the item description it states that the author is a long-time punk rock fan, this is inexcusable. Just horrible.
Also, they didn't bother to change the letter to "J" at the top of the page in that section so it goes "I" to "K". I wasn't expecting an exhaustive list by any means, but this is truly a disappointment.

Great Basic Book for any vinyl lover
A must have book is a Goldmine book. The only drawback is it only covers the more common labels and a few of the lesser known. All in all great book for the price!
