When I wanted to value my record collection, I used Nick Hamlyn's Penguin Price Guide and found it really easy and reliable to use. With the records listed alphabetically, it is simple to find the titles - unlike other guides I have seen where for each artist the records are listed in chronological order under a number of different format headings - very confusing if you're not an anorak! The book also has a number of useful rarity charts and is filled with fascinating pieces of extra biographical and critical information, making it a really good read as well as a list of prices. For my money, the Penguin Price Guide stands head and shoulders above the competition.

This guide simply does not have the detail (or accuracy, but thats a perennial problem with all guides) that record collectors need. Quotes £150 for "With the Beatles" yellow and black parlophone stereo. There are at least 4 different variations of this item - the prices of which vary considerably. Therefore, pretty useless.
Setting the all records out in by song title rather than type (CD, LP, EP, single, promo etc) is also annoying. There is a real opportunity to offer an alternative to the 'Record Collector' price guide - but this isn't it.

Save yourself the bother of buying this book, it has glaring ommissions, and is just frustrating to use. Here`s how it works, if you have an LP record in mint condition it`s worth a tenner, In very good condition £4 or £5
Listmania!
