About this title

From the Publisher

Jerry Osborne is Mr. Music -- there's no doubt about that! His weekly feature, "Mr. Music" -- has been in newspaper syndication since 1986. He has been a record collector for nearly 40 years, and an author of record price guides and reference works since 1975! Plus, he's a blast to work with -- what more could a hard-working editor ask for? If you have the chance to listen to one of Jerry's radio or TV interviews, don't miss the opportunity.

OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO RECORDS was growing so fast and furious that we had to grow the size of the book or it would burst at the seams! The 12th edition has over 600 pages of listings and photos of LPs, 45s and more.

--Randy Ladenheim-Gil, Editor, House of Collectibles
