Hello,

more and more people are advising us to buy the catalog for LPs.

now, i've searched all over for the name of this catalog, but i can't find it.

this could then be ordered from the standard bookstore, I have already been there, they can only search on the title and not on key words. this has also brought me nothing.

can someone help me with that?

they advised us to order the catalog from the standard bookstore, but I don't know the title of this book.

With all due respect, and I could be wrong, but one book with the prices of all LPs ... that seems absurd to me, doesn't it ?! OK, you can have specialized books per genre / artist (s) / movement, I know a lot, but then surfing on ebay and similar seems more interesting / cheaper to determine prices :) ... and then of course you have to find someone else who 'wants' to pay for it!

no, nothing absurd about it, I only have the Jazz LP catalog myself, but if you ask Donner in Rotterdam, they know everything ...

Or Selexyz in The Hague, which also has many reference works

But they do come from America, they are not Dutch versions ...

That's what I mean "Jazz lp catalog" ... and that someone can have so different ones, ok ... just one book, I don't believe any of it :) ...

It's only because I had been looking for something like that 30 years ago ... I remember walking around at Virgin Records in London (around 1973/74) and for "almost" every artist there was a sign (that's called that) with really everything that that person had legally released, so I reasoned that someone had ever come up with the idea to bundle that ... never found at the time, unfortunately :( ...

A printed copy is always a snapshot and can always be used as a frame of reference. At the time of compiling / publishing such a catalog, certain prices applied and then one can check via the internet whether those prices have become higher or lower.

It is also nice to get an overview of the year of issue. How much did people pay for a record then and how much now? It is also useful to get an overview of what has been pressed about plates in one go. If you are looking for a particular record or artist, you often forget to look at the rest of the entire range. Such a catalog gives you a very nice picture.

If there is a Jaxx lp catalog, then there are bound to be multiple catalogs from multiple sections. If you, as a store, want to know something about all the records, then you are quite expensive. I am curious if there is a catalog / book with all categories. Take a good look around Antiquarian / second-hand bookstores or book markets I would say!

Finally, it is also useful to know something about the technique of the plate. How is a plate pressed, what is a matrix, how do they make a plate, what is the history? These are also fun facts to look up in a book and use as a quick reference.

Many catalogs with prices have come out over the years, but the point of print copies that aging is rapidly hitting.

Before the E bay era these things were important, but nowadays you can find a price indication on the internet fairly quickly. (compare it with encyclopedia which is not worth much anymore except for the exception)

But the story you sell them too cheap! Is not true, I think.

there are so many vinyl records

If you own a special item then it may be worth something take this one.

Prize Dark side of the moon

the example of Morits 137,000 LPs worldwide since 1954 and CDs

We still have some things to do within Catawiki, but we are already well on the way, and once things go as they want to determine prices in the future within Catawiki, you will probably have a better view of the prices.

but gold I don't think you'll find it in vinyl!

I don't think so, unless you can buy someone's gold record;)!

However, there are indeed very expensive records, as Dick also mentioned, but I think that special editions of The Beatles or The Rolling Stones can also be worth something.

Usually, however, it is the icing on the cake and there are not many of them. It can be assumed that most records are not worth very much. Especially because they are available for little money at a flea market / flea market.

Special record stores or music stores that also sell records (yes, they still exist, at least in Amsterdam) they charge a little more for a standard record. However, they have to live on it and the clientele is no longer as large as it used to be or comparable to the current download or CD audience. Fortunately, they have not won the prize in the Euro flow, otherwise those plates would have become much more expensive.

I don't really have much faith in these catalogs .. however there is a site (popsike.com) that keeps track of the sales prices on the major auction sites ... Of course you cannot find everything there ... but if your record is a real collector she will certainly be there ...

Grtz, Kilroy

@Kilroy,

popsike I am also a member of.

This site cannot be trusted at all.

I came across a lot of so-called collector items that you see frequently on every average 2nd hand store site.

In addition, you can watch about five times a day, after which you will receive a message that you must become a paid member.

I believe that ... but in the end catalogs are also often made by dealers ... also the catalog of Belgian Pop and Rock music ... I am very satisfied that such reference works exist ... but the price is always a bit crazy for it wants to pay ... regardless of popsike or any catalog.

On the other hand .. comparing apples with apples ... as an example, it is best to take 'The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd' .... different pressings .... different prices ... then you really have to compare everything .. label (down to the smallest details), label number, associated attributes, ...

The best advice ... buy only what you like and pay as little as possible for it ... patience is a beautiful gift!

As stated earlier here, I also think that catalogs are nice as a price indication.

But nothing more.

Think like you, Kilroy, say that "what the fool gives for it" counts more.

As far as I am concerned, Ebay is also not "holy" when it comes to pricing.

See there identical albums are priced from € 5 to sometimes as much as € 50.

In my collection I have a number of singles, maxis and LPs, which, according to Ebay, easily yield € 50. I once put some of them on Marktplaats for € 5 and there is no one who responds.

Sometimes you see that there are periods where you do not lose certain records at all ... A dozen years ago the prices for Elvis records were quite high ... a few years later you could buy them for next to nothing, apparently nobody had still interested ...

I have been collecting since the 70s (my early childhood) until now ... The most I paid for a record until now was 25 € for 'See Emily Play' by Pink Floyd ... because I have bought this over the years. was only offered once and I absolutely wanted them ...

Indeed, you will usually pay more for a record than you can get in return (with a few exceptions).

But the pleasure I get from looking for certain records and listening to them, THAT is priceless for me ...

And yet you sometimes come across a real collector ... recently the Belgian collector 'Irish Coffee' on the Triangle label ... for 1.5 euro ... and in perfect condition.

Prices remain difficult last week in Nijmegen record book market LPs were sold for half the prices.

I think there is indeed a bit of a draft, and there will certainly be exceptions

popsike only displays prices. A lot of information is often impossible to find out, only the price and the sale date.

Ebay is fun to watch, but the prices?
