Record Collector

Record Collector is a British monthly music magazine and is distributed both within the UK and worldwide. It was first published in March 1980. The magazine would normally consist of both prose pieces on the history of the artists, and detailed discographies of their UK releases. These discographies would provide all the information needed for collectors to pore over, and which enabled them to differentiate between different pressings of outwardly identical releases – catalogue numbers, release dates and distinguishing features of the records/record sleeves themselves. In particular, they would also include a valuation of each record, so that dealers and collectors had a springboard to work from.
