The Rare Record Price Guide 2022

Product Information

I understand that the engineers often binned these acetates which probably explains the lack of information.

I have a collection of lps to sell rolling stones led zepplin beatles david bowie moody blues ten years after Duane eddy the who etc. Demand isn’t limited to those genres though there are more specialist markets in Classical, Musicals and Rock N Roll. In the 1960’s most of the earlier 1960’s Lp’s sold in Mono around 1966/67 even numbers of Mono and Stereo records were sold and in the late 1960’s most were sold in Stereo.I think it’s important to understand the overheads involved in selling on vinyl records and also the amount of work that needs to be done. I also must consider the fact that many of the LPs in my late brother’s collection were issued in South Africa in the 1970s, and therefore I will need the correct cover to match the record. Grading of records can also be vary depending on where you are selling so Discogs uses a USA grading system.

I have my late brother’s collection of LPs (Rock, Blues Rock, Blues, Prog Rock and some Metal), and after sentimentally holding on to them for some time, have now decided I just have to let go. Some will be fussier around condition, but if you have desirable records for sale we will want to pay as much as we possibly can for them. Of course my offers aren’t always accepted, but i’ll give it my best shot and if you aren’t happy with the offer I am always able to offer advice on how you can sell them individually yourself. I’m looking, like everyone, to see what they are worth, which I know you would need to see for yourself. Many records when originally released came with lyric inserts and sometimes posters and other odd inserts (Alice cooper School’s Out cam with a pair of free Panties!Normal black vinyl and think couple of coloured (Roger Daltrey soundtrack from McVicar is clear vinyl). There is though a very scarce (rare) first issue of this as pictured above where the triangle on the centre label was coloured in. Pulling all of the above together it’s clear that valuing your vinyl record collection can be quite a task as there is a lot to consider. They will say, “but it has 1967 on the sleeve so it must be 1st issue”, I ask them to look at the CD they have which also shows 1967 and remind them that CD’s weren’t around in 1967! Sometimes it takes a bit more effort to track down the collectors or dealers that specialise in these areas.
