                    Record Collector                   Record Collector 30

Until 1980, European record collectors had no home. There was nowhere for them to find out information, buy and sell their records, or contact other people who shared their passion for music and rare vinyl. All that changed when the first issue of Record Collector appeared in March 1980.

For the first time, collectors could read detailed and accurate features about their favourite artists. Right from the start, Record Collector also published complete discographies with current market values for every record, enabling collectors to make sure they were getting value for money. Our rapidly expanding Set Sale and Auction pages also gave readers the chance to buy and sell rare records, old and new. Our features, discographies and sales lists have been the heart of the magazine ever since.

But Record Collector has also been responsible for the rapid expansion of the market. As collecting became a global phenomenon, the magazine soon moved beyond its early focus on 50s rock 'n' roll and 60s beat music to cover fast-growing areas like progressive rock, glam, punk, and even easy listening.

Record Collector also triggered the dramatic boom in the reissue market, and its highly-respected review section became essential reading for anyone interested in buying music on vinyl and, from the mid-80s onwards, on CD as well.

Twenty years after it began, Record Collector is the world's leading magazine in its field. Besides its features and discographies, every issue includes hundreds of album, book, fanzine, video and single reviews, plus exclusive news from the collecting and reissue scenes. That's why it's essential reading for everyone who's interested in collecting records, from 1950 to the present day.

Record Collector have only published end of year lists since 2000. Though, they have done a poll each year of the most collectible artists for much longer.

Not a list, but if you are thinking of buying or selling any albums, here is Record Collector
Condition Guide & Grading System.

New Albums: Readers Top 10

Chart based on over 3000 replies to our reader questionnaire, July 2003 issue.

1. Coral – Magic and Medicine
2. Coldplay – A Rush of Blood to the Head

5. Love – Forever Changes Live
6. Metallica – St Anger
7. Springsteen, Bruce – Rising
8. Radiohead – Hail to the Thief
9. Madonna – American Life
10. Gabriel, Peter – Up

If you were thinking No 2, No 7 and No 10 were 2002 albums – you’d be right! Not sure how Led Zep’s How the West was Won is a ‘new album’ as it was recorded in 1972, either.
