Record Collector Magazine

Started in September 1979, Record Collector is an English monthly music magazine which focus on discographies and record collectability. In 1987, Record Collector published its first standalone guide: the Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG). Famous for being "serious about music", the magazine and the Guide are a worldwide reference among collectors and dealers. In 2010 The Rare Record Price Guide went online as a database. Today, the magazine is also available on tablet. In 2011 Record Collector started a label, ran by Ian Shirley offering to readers rare and obscure releases/reissues on limited edition 180g vinyl in careful sleeve. Most of them quickly sold out.
