Customer Reviews

Good-but not good enough!
A good catalog by Tim Neely, as they usually are, but this newest edition had too many missing artists from the early rock era. Important artists such as Dion, Dion and the Belmonts, and Del Shannon are entirely missing from this catalog. The color section is very good, but I am disappointed with this book.

American Records, just the book I needed.
Listed all the albums I've looked up so far. Helping me put a value on the collection I have....

I'm not getting it...These Price listings are TOO high.
Alright, I just purchased the book for a lot of money at my local bookstore. I believed it was money well spent until I started looking up listings. Now, every review here points out that it is missing a ton of well known artists including The Steve Miller Band (or shall I say 'not' included.) That isn't where I am making a case (however, I am mad about that.) My case is that the price listings seem SO over their value. I know that nobody pays book value but, this guide says (for example) that Billy Joel's albums are running for a $10,$20,$30 dollars each or even more. Okay, I payed a whopping $1 (with a few exceptions) for every record he put out (excluding Cold Spring Harbor) with the same number code. Either I'm confused or being bullshitted by the author and I don't think that I'm confused. They are not worth that price tag.

I did just buy this book today so I haven't compared my entire collection fully yet. I'm just skeptical at this point so I turned to good ole Amazon.com for some advise. I do need some help from others who have read (or better yet) used this book to identify vinyl prices. I would love to know. Thanks.

P.S.
I don't know how many stars to give this book because I'm not sure. so I just split it in half.
