Review
"Simply put, despite a "down in the dumps" economy, the market for rare records in 2003 was Red Hot!...I predict that 2004 will be an even bigger "Record Year" than 2003."

4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book that, perhaps, bites off too much,
This review is from: Goldmine Standard Catalog of American Records 1950-1975 (Paperback)
This is one of the best price guide books for American records. Due to its detailed information and clearly organized listings, it surpasses all previous publications in its scope and usefulness. It adds artists not previously mentioned in past price guides but does omit artists on a somewhat arbitrary basis. Why Getz and not Gillespie etc.? For the artists it does include, much hard work is reflected in the thorough discographies which list reissue information and pressing chronology with great accuracy. Obscure artists with limited product are, as is common with books of this type, omitted. For the money, this is the best book. Only Osborne's Rockin Records covers more ground, but in less essential detail.

Good-but not good enough!,

This review is from: Goldmine Standard Catalog Of American Records, 1950-1975 (Paperback)
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.

It Could Be So Much Better...,
This review is from: Goldmine Standard Catalog Of American Records, 1950-1975 (Paperback)
I had heard about some complaints regarding this book so I was prepared for it to not be the best that it could be. The book in general is pretty good. There are a lot of listings of singles. What I really do like is that it lists the "B" side of the singles. That was a nice touch that another Record book I have does not have.
My real problem with the book is that it tends to cover mainly well-known artists. It would be nice if it would have covered more lesser known acts. I would imagine that lack of space was a main reason to not cover more artists, as it is a big book. My biggest gripe is that it sometimes leaves out artists that were supposed to be in the book. For instance, it tells you under the listing of David Crosby that you can also check out his recordings with The Byrds...but that group is not found anywhere in the book! Whoever did the editing did a bad job. It's a shame because it really could have been better than it is. It's a pity that there is not one book that lists all or nearly all of the 45 records complete with the "B" sides. That would be the ultimate book. "American Records 1950-1975" is good but not great. Hopefully if another edition comes out some improvements will be made.
