Official Price Guide to Records 18th edition Hard to read - small type. Not as comprehensive as Tim Neely's guide. I found a lot of lp's that I wanted to find prices for were not in this guide.
Fewer Records Leads to Bummer Several years ago I bought Osbourne's 2001 guide to records and I couldn't have been more pleased. So when it was time to update the guide I was a loyal consumer and bought the newest edition. Too my suprise, many of the listings in the 2001 guide are missing and a lot of popular and valuable records aren't in the new guide at all. You've heard the phrase 'less is more'? Well in this case less is less. I can't recommend anyone buy this guide since even novice collectors will find huge gaps in 18th edition of 'Offical Price Guide to Records'.
great book as a general guide This book is by one of the best music collectors in the business. I bought it as a reference guide for a future music store I want to start, as well as a general guide for my personal collection. Their are more detailed guides, at much greater prices, so this is great for the beginner and just general information. Highly recommend.
THE ONE TO BUY Jerry Osborne continues to provide the best and most unbiased price guide in record collecting. He started in 1974 and remains the authority. There's no hidden agenda here. If you're buying just one record price guide, THIS IS IT.
Record price guide This is a another in a long line of great Record reviews and price guides. WE use it every day in our little record (antique) business. We sell vinyl in downtown Kalamazoo. Thanks!
