This is a big disappointment. As someone who does some dealing in used records, I had hopes, and indications, that Goldmine was going to put some work into revising their record values. No such luck. While there are some changes and improvements in this volume, a high percentage of the prices quoted still remain unchanged from the 2003 edition, which is the earliest I have. Considering the way the market has changed over the years, especially since the advent of eBay, a book with prices unchanged since 2003 will inevitably be misleading.Let me give you an example of what I am referring to. Several years ago someone, somehow, determined that the Soundtrack lp for "High Tor," which featured Bing Crosby, was worth $400. I became aware of this probably close to twenty years ago and initially thought that the lp actually was valuable. In subsequent years however, I saw several copies and even found one which I bought for resale. Even at very low prices I had no success with it, and I ended up selling it to a used record store for a dollar. There are currently eight copies available on eBay, and popsike (which lists nothing under $25) lists nine, all of which sold at less than $100. It should be apparent then, that the lp is not exceptionally rare, there is little demand for it, and that when it does sell, if it sells at all, it brings far less than $400. Still, if you look in the Bing Crosby section of this price guide, there it sits, still at the $400 mark.This is admittedly an extreme example, and I am not saying we should condemn this price guide on the basis of one highly questionable value. The problem is there are probably thousands of albums whose values need to be reassessed and perhaps, revised. In my opinion, almost all common country albums from the 1960s are overpriced, as are most recordings of early style jazz. Modern jazz, on the other hand, tends to be under priced, and while Goldmine has made some progress is this area, there is still plenty of work to do. I could also point to several artists whose whole listings may need to be revised (there are currently about 660 Ricky Nelson lps listed on eBay, yet Goldmine still prices them as rarities). I could go on and on with examples, and would be interested in what other dealers think in this regard.Certainly it would be a time-consuming task to make the needed changes, but the resources are there. It should not be difficult to keep track of eBay results and popsike is a valuable online source also. It would not hurt to visit record stores or even talk to dealers to get their opinions. I simply do not understand why Goldmine continues to pump out price guides with the same old inaccurate values. Is there some psychological barrier to lowering prices? Do they rely exclusively on the opinions of "big-time" dealers who have a vested interest in keeping prices high? Perhaps it is sheer laziness or indifference. In the introduction the author gives some examples of common albums for which there is little demand. One of those is "The Glenn Miller Carnegie Hall Concert" which he states is worth "$5 or less." That sounds about right, but if you look in Glenn Miller's listings in the book, that same album is still valued at $40. There is no excuse for such slipshod work and this leads me to suspect that Goldmine may know many of its prices are out-of-date, but cannot be bothered to change them.Despite all this, I could probably recommend this book to any collector or dealer who does not have any of the earlier editions. One gets the feeling they actually have worked on the discographies, and they seem to be well done and comprehensive. Anyone who has this book can use it as a guide to what is out there and it is, in many respects, a wealth of information. Plus, once one gets a feel for the inaccuracy of the prices, it can be somewhat of an indication of worth, especially for lps of certain genres.Until Goldmine decides to be more accurate in its values though, this volume is, at best, a mixed blessing for the record collecting hobby. It will give collectors an unrealistic view of the value of their collections and will make life difficult for record dealers who attempt to purchase their collections from them. In many respects this book does a disservice to the hobby Goldmine purports to appreciate. Maybe they'll do better next time.
Very disappointing publication! I own at least a dozen record price guides (hard to get rid of 'em when my primary aim with these guides is research like year of issue, not price).When I saw that this 9th edition would include compilation LPs, I was thrilled.Unfortunately, the comp-LP section is undersized and underwhelming.But my main gripe with this 9th edition is that it seems to be a clone of the 8th edition of American Records, which I already own. These two LP guides were published 5 years apart, I believe, but both of them lack listings for the following singers/groups:Willie NilePezbandRain ParadeJoe HenryRobin and Linda WilliamsBill StainesWendy WaldmanBuzzy LinhartCheryl Wheelerthe WindbreakersSteve WynnNot big, big singers/groups, but I own 'em and I expected to see 'em in the 9th edition guide.Related, the Dwight Twilley listing lacks any data for the Green Blimp LP on Burger Records.Likewise, the Townes van Zandt lacks the Fat Possum reissue from 2007 of "My Mother the Mountain."You probably get what I'm saying by now.If you own the 8th edition of the American Records price guide, this 9th edition of the Record Album Guide is **NOT** worth a dollar.If you own neither, pick up the 8th edition for a big discount - you can probably score a very good copy for $10 or less.Or go with Jerry Osborne who tends to be better at being comprehensive.Bad show, Goldmine and Dave Thompson!
I've bought these guides for many years, and have always found them useful as a general guide and reflection of some market trends. The most notable price increases here, after a casual glance, can be found (obviously) for Prince and David Bowie, as well as vintage jazz.However, there seems to be a printing error in the "Various Artists Collections" section. All of the listings here are for jazz compilations...nothing else. I'm thinking that this mix-up may have come from their most recent jazz album guide, published last year. There was good information in this section in previous editions, so this is definitely disappointing.
Great source for offline prices. I found this to be a great tool for pricing my Albums, very informative, and depicts the "Slight Differences" that make HUGE differences in value, that you just can't find in "On-Line" listing resources. Good Reliable, and Trusted Source, I have used the Goldmine Price Guide for Years, and as a resource for pricing my over 40,000 albums, is invaluable and current. A must have for the serious Seller/Collector.
I was disappointed that this book did not list the many obscure albums I own, K-Tel, Ronco, Pickwick records, etc. It does have a wealth of information, just not the information I needed. It only list's the records value if in 'Mint' condition. There is a price guide out there by Goldmine written by 'Tim Neely' that one might consider.
Very few prices were updated and they don't seem to accurately reflect what records are currently selling for on auction websites. There were several records that were listed in previous edition that were mysteriously deleted. If you don't have any previous editions, this book may prove useful, but since I already had the last edition, buying this one was a complete waste of money.
I am trying to sell about 70 LP albums and have had several buyers. All of them told me the values in this book mean "nothing". No one would pay anywhere near what the book indicated. I paid too much for invaluable information!
This book is crammed with a wide variety of music, super easy to read and navigate. Definitely a great deal for the money paid. Very very happy with my purchase
