Rating  - Vinyl Wizard
I should have had this book long ago, not because I needed to sell records from my collection, but just for its endless knowledge of artists, their "family trees", their recording labels,their time zone, the variety of recordings they produced,etc., etc... This is the what,when, where,why, with who,and how long, of the L.P. world. Everyone having anything to do with music, either today, yesterday, or in the years leading back to when the record was introduced, needs to have a copy of their own.You will look at your copy for countless hours, as did I... Thank you Tim Neely, and crew!
Rating - The Vinyl Bible
Search no more you 33 1/3 vinyl lovers like me who sleep with their albums ..... this is our Bible. I will cherish this edition forever ( well, at least till the next edition ).I just wish it was hardcover and with "gold pages" like the classics. Thank you for showing me the "light" Saint Tim Neely.
Rating - Necessary for ALL Audiophiles
This book is something no audiophile and collector should be without and sitting in first position next to the other Goldmine price guides and Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll. The best thing I found about this book is that if you have any questions or something is not listed, you can call the author Tim Neely. He actually calls you back!! Within a couple days even!!!
Rating - The real deal!
As an avid record collector, one needs to understand the real value of their investment. Until I purchased this book, I was paying more for records than I should have, and less for those I should have spent more on. The later worked in my favor sometimes. This book is THE resource for grading records and the standard for pricing. It also invaluable information about labels and logos, so one for ex. doesn't pay 1st pressing price for 2nd or 3rd pressings or NM or Ex prices for $1 merchandise. It is an honest publication and well worth it! I actually take this book with me when I search for LPs and grade my own! The only question I have is, where is the Electric Flag (left out for some reason!)
