Re: [F_MINOR] OT: Need Good Sources about Collecting Classical Records



You should look at 'The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & Dvds: 2003/4
Edition' :-

The one that I have is the 1992 edition and is a hefty 1348 pages. The
description on Amazon says :-

The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs and DVDs is the largest and most
comprehensive survey of classical music on digital audio and video
discs ever published. It covers thousands of recordings, offering
candid evaluation of their relative artistic and technical merits,
highlighting notable performances, and pinpointing the best buys. This
guide takes into account the many hundreds of new and reissued CDs and
DVDs that have appeared in recent years while also including all the
major recordings of each work-from remastered vintage recordings to the
latest releases. This essential reference work is designed to help
select the very best video and music discs available today.

Hope this helps,

Carl

Are there any books about collecting records that actually have
information
pertaining to classical records? Or even (please please please) books
_about_
collecting classical records? Most of the "record collecting" guides
I've seen
carry only information on rock and pop.

Also, can anyone recommend web sites with information about collecting
classical records? Or good on-line classical record stores? I'm sick
of doing
searches and getting zero results, or if do get results, they show
only a few
not-hard-to-find items.

I guess I've been bitten by the bug. !@#$ Ebay! :-)
