3.0 out of 5 stars Usefull but not so Usefull, May 2, 2000

This review is from: Goldmine's Promo Record & CD Price Guide (Paperback)

This book is not one of Goldmine's best issues but for the most part it gets the job done. The listings are many but detailed they are not. The part that bothered me the most was the general price guidelines...for example if you look under an artist and you do not see the album listed it might say in small print the record label and a general price value. It would be more helpful to list more album titles for the artists instead of giving a general price. It was also disappointing that only NM values are given. How many records from the 1950's do you have that are NM?

On a good note I have not seen any other promo guides so I guess it gets the job done more or less.

This review is from: Goldmine's Promo Record & CD Price Guide (Paperback)

Nice listing of radio station promos,their recommended values for retail resale.Remember that the high price is for mint vinyl & well cared for CD's.The more common the record,less the price.Promos on 1st issue,were pressed on the master first & usually sound crisp & clear.They were not available to the commercial public & some said "Not For Resale".The more obscure the song,the more likely you'll find it on promo.The bigger the hit,the less likely you'll find it on promo.Condition & label ware should be taken when grading.That's why it's a record guide.Prices vary on condition & demand for the record.Seller A+.Quick delivery.
