	kab2112 SUBS Wales, where men are men and sheep are nervous Member since Jan 2011 15471 Points Moderator	I have the original issues of Hair (Polydor) Jesus Christ Superstar (MCA) Evita (MCA) but can't find any reference to any of these in the latest issue of the Rare Records Price Guide. Are they all worth less than £15 or £!8 in mint condition? or am I looking in the wrong place?.

Evita and JCC are in almost every other job lot I buy Hair about 1 in 10.

(where's my old chemistry Teacher when I come with these things... I demand a recount!) Mint my a..

So you may not have record of resalable value, but you've saved 14 poundollars on the music!

You can pick up a whole whack of them for pennies a piece and discover some truly great stuff that you wouldn't have heard of otherwise. For Example this disk: Hank Thompson which is a western swing sort of version of this disk Glenn Miller I do like the guides though from the discographical point of view -- although I never look at them as a the ultimate most accurate source. Of particular angst is the one by Les Docks -- his American Premium Record Guide. What a load of old rubbish. In the preface he bashes all other guides for acting all high and mighty, and then goes on to tell you why he's right, and what HE is pushing about what is collectible and what isn't. A total pillock! http://www.amazon.ca/American-Premium-Record-Guide-1900-1965/dp/087349282X Amy Edited by moderator on 6th Mar 2016, 7:11 PM

Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator	I think RRPG has reached, is reaching a fork in the road, with some serious editorial decisions to be made in order to keep it relevant. I get the impression there's a serious need for not just a rare record price guide, but a general trade price guide. Add to that an emerging CD collectible market, where first issues, SACDs, Digipaks, longboxes, Target CDs etc. probably meaning that the vinyl and CD fornats are desrving of thier own separate editions... you could probably say the same for each of the formats (Styles too: Classical and Jazz) ... then you have to conclude that they are trying to cram too much into one book, at the cost of necessary detail and differentiation of issues and presses of those they do include. It could even greatly benefit them to separate 45s and vinyl albums. All this would mean you'd get the more specific info relevant to what you want or need to know, with the starting values reduced it would include more of each that currently don't make the cut, even by a hair. Becuase otherwise I think the world of matrix numbers, stampers, issues and subtle alterations will overwhelm it and dilute a fantastic institution and drive people away... This may well have already happened if there were viable alternatives that spoke to those needs mentioned above (Goldmine and that outdated penguin book are likewise limited). But I still like a physical copy of a guide, so it would be a shame if this happened.

	Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator	Will anyone be buying this? RRPG 2018 I have found the 2016 one becoming less and less relevant and therefore useful, as the pricing landscape changes almost by the day now (certainly week to week), and the listings are far too general to contain the relevant info that could shift an album into a new value bracket by some significant margin. I'm going to need some convincing that it's still worth having.

	TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points	Part of the silliness is that they call the new one a guide for 2018. By the time 2018 comes around the 2018 guide will be out of date.

They'll all be sorry when the economic sheet hits the fan again (I think it just has actually) and they've got no physical media assets and the company they stream from goes out of business! Or as the songs says: "You don't own me...."
