Hints & Tips

If you're new to collecting records, then a quick visit here will give you some hints and tips that I've learnt over the years .... it may well help you get started!

Also, the world of record collecting can be quite confusing. For general advice and tons of adverts of records and fairs, check out Record Collector magazine. They have a website here.

If you are at all confused about the rafts of terms used in record collecting, then check out EILs Hints & Tips section ... it's my bible! (not a bad website for finding old records and CDs too ... see below!)

Recommended Collecting Sites

The internet is one of the best places to find records and CDs that you are after and there are some bargains to be had out there. It's also the best palce to find those rare records and CDs that just can't be bought down your local HMV or Virgin.

Here you'll find some links to the best sites around .... I've used them all and had no problems whatsoever! Check them out!

Grading & Valuation System
As with almost all collecting worlds, the condition of an item greatly effects it's value. In record collecting there is a standard Grading System and a related Valuation System. This section is a copy of that found in the back of Record Collector magazine and is a useful reference point.
