Miller's Collecting Vinyl (Miller's Collector's Guides) Book

The power of vinyl in the market is now recognized and increasingly "collector's editions" are released on fresh vinyl. Collecting Vinyl is a comprehensive guide to collecting vinyl records. The book is divided into the principal genres of music, such as Jazz, Easy Listening, Rock, and Blues, with further sub-divisions within those main sections explaining each type of music in more detail. Each of these sub-sections has listings of the most popular or most collectible records for that area of music, plus fact boxes providing anecdotes on what makes a certain record collectible, or how it came to be recorded. Background information is provided on the history and roots of the genre, how it has developed towards other musical movements, the principal artists, and whom and what to collect. Four eight-page color sections bring the artworks of some of the most famous album covers to life. Included is practical advice on the types of records, and storing and caring for a collection.
