5.0 out of 5 stars Rock on Record Collectors, June 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Goldmine Records & Prices: A Concise Digest with Over 30,000 Listings (Goldmine Records and Prices) (Paperback)

This is an awesome reference guide. Let me first say that I am not a hard core record collector. I have about 600 albums and a few 45s. I found Goldmine Record & Prices the perfect reference book to help me identify and price my collection. It's easy to use and compact so that I can carry it with me when I go looking for records to add to my collection. And the price is great when you consider that there are almost 30,000 records listed. Plain and simple: It's the best value out there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rock and roll and Frank Sinatra, September 1, 2002

This review is from: Goldmine Records & Prices: A Concise Digest with Over 30,000 Listings (Goldmine Records and Prices) (Paperback)

Goldmine magazine officially recognizes two forms of popular music: rock and roll and Frank Sinatra. On occasion, it grudgingly concedes the existence of other things, like R&B, country, and rock and roll. Oh, wait--I already mentioned rock and roll. So, it's no surprise that this price guide avoids most of the "adult pop" people who sold tons of vinyl from the late 50s through the early 1970s--folks like Johnny Mathis, Ray Conniff, Vicki Carr, Mantovani, and Percy Faith. The premier denouncer of rock among pop singers, Frank Sinatra, is included, however, though Perry Como, who had many times more hits, is nowhere to be found. The Beatles are mentioned any number of times in the introduction, because, naturally, anyone consulting a record price guide will want to know about all things Beatles. Cliche City, U.S.A. Well laid-out, anyway, and useful for cross-indexing years of release for albums and 45s not listed herein. Goldmine's anti-"pop" bias, though, is a problem.
