Finally! Something for the "headbanger" collector,
This review is from: Goldmine's Heavy Metal Price Guide (Paperback)
This book is perfect for those who simply have an interest or the hard-core collector of rock and roll's wicked stepchild, Heavy metal. Loads of photos, bios, and assorted gems, this takes some of the guess work out of ammassing one's collection. The only complaint I could possibly offer is that there needs to be more concentration on the newer sub-genres of Heavy metal (black metal, death metal, etc) although they are addressed.

A Must For Metal Collectors, But...,
By Bluemoon Music "Bluemoon Music" (Fargo, ND) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Goldmine's Heavy Metal Price Guide (Paperback)
Yes, this guide is a must have for all Metal record collectors. I would recommend it for CD collectors too, as it has a great discography of just about every metal band. But I was dissapointed to find out the author devalued many of the US record releases while raising the values of the UK releases. I know record collecting is more popular in the UK, but there are still many collectors here in the US too. This book makes it hard for the US collector to figure out what his collection is really worth. Case in point, GNR's banned robot cover sells for about five times what the guide lists by many dealers in the US. Anyway, I guees it is just a guide so don't take the values too seriously. Still, a great reference guide for the Metal Record collector.

MANDATORY,
By "carloss@acomta.panasonic.com" (Reynosa, Tamaulipas Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Goldmine's Heavy Metal Price Guide (Paperback)
If you are into 80's Heavy metal and vinyl collecting you must get this books, which is mainly a catalog. It's very helpful on things as Band's LP's, EP's, release year, etc. If you have a missing LP from the 80's metal and don't know the label, year or even more, you want to complete your collection dig this.
