Thank you all for supporting our efforts. We have several new writers contributing to our always expanding database of reviews and articles. We’ll ask you again to take advantage of the coffee icons on each page and submit a little donation. It also should go without saying but Collectors Music Reviews is NOT a catalogue. Nothing here is for sale nor do we know where to get them. This is merely an academic discussion of these artifacts for our amusement. We also ask that you make a donation of whatever size to help keep the site in operation. If you can make a donation, it will be much appreciated. You can now follow Collectors Music Reviews on Twitter. Given the backlog of new release and other titles to be reviewed, this will be a way to give up-to-date impressions on them before we write the in-depth review that you all expect. Rock and roll, classic rock, progressive rock (whichever term you like) is the music we grew up with and love. The music produced by these artists is endlessly fascinating. We never get tired listening, discussing, and collecting this music. And rock has no better arena than in the live setting. The thrill of hearing (and watching) these artists translate their thoughts and emotions on stage is the only true place to experience the transcendent beauty (or ridiculousness) they create. There are many websites dedicated to a particular band. Many websites will offer great information on Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, or the Rolling Stones. But no other free website in the world offers the comprehensive and detailed analysis of live music for all artists as contained on this site. Of course Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones and Led Zeppelin are the basis of this site, but you will also find reviews of releases by such diverse acts as Emmylou Harris, Paul Simon, and the kings of Norwegian black metal Darkthrone.
The focus is upon silver pressed releases, both official and unofficial. With the proliferation of CDR titles you will occasionally find a review posted if it is important enough. We keep the focus upon the silvers because we want to. It is what we like. We don’t care about the ”lowgen-torrenting-trading” crusade. There are many collectors who like to fight incessantly over this issue, but there will be none of that here. We are a group of passionate and dedicated fans, collectors, and writers who not only love to collect and listen to these releases, but also to write about them. The articles contained on this page are part review, part commentary, part social history, part editorial opinion, and all interesting reading. If you are as obsessive as we are, then get comfortable and plan on spending several hours pouring over these articles. Already there are more than a thousand articles in this database with more added daily. Updates will of course focus on the latest releases, but there are many old releases that have never been mentioned nor reviewed online which deserve attention. The amount of information contained in these pages is overwhelming. We recommend the following:

Believe me, I’ve collected since 1980. Snefru The first port of call for all enquiries. This objective & informative site is proving indispensible in navigating the murky waters of collecting Just wondering if I wanted to get reviews and info of Page & Plant titles where would I go.Thanks Randy Good question, Randy. We don’t have a Page & Plant section yet because there haven’t been any Page & Plant reviews written. If anyone has a nice collection they would like to review, please send them in and we’ll post them. A really good site. I can easily recommended it as a long-time collector and music connosieur. AA This is the site I have been looking for!!! Truly an invaluable source of information here and absolutely fascinating to read daily. I hope to contribute some useful commentary myself over time too! Cheers! I cannot thank you all enough! Excellent site. Does anyone know if the Mid Valley Jeff Beck Ronnie Scott’s DVD is out yet Cloudyhours, log in or register (it’s free), go to the artist column on the left, click on Jeff Beck, and you will find it and some others there. I am always amazed when people give up their valuable time for the benefit of a mostly unappreciative public. Good on you for maintaining such a rich, varied and frankly wonderful site. In the words of Neil Young “long may you run.” I have been collecting, buying, and trading since 1979 and this is by far the best resource I have ever encountered. If you’re here, you are part of the community and join in. Most excellent site. To the main reviewer especially - hats off. Everything you need is here. The best web site for rarities and collectors. Rock And Roll ! Thank you ! Hello and Seasons Greetings! Thank-you so much for this invaluable site!! I have found this to be a wealth of information, which no collector should be without! Keep it up! I will send a small donation, and continue to donate whenever I can. Again, THANK-YOU!!! Hello and Season’s greetings! This site is simply awesome and to be honest that is an understatement. I usually purchase a silver cd once it gets reviewed here. I am a hardcore Zeppelin collector and was wondering if someone could review Scorpio’s “Go West, Young Man”. Thanks and happy new year to all! I love this site, many great reviews Love the Floyd section on Sirene and Sigma. I am scrambling to buy these labels where ever I can. Pay way too much from predatorialy sellers, which leads me to my question. I don’t know if this is taboo or what ever but could someone help me find a place to buy these labels of Floyd? I am just a collector and never plan to sell anything. Would someone give me a heads up somehow or another? Thanks in advance. Fantastic bits here, thanks for the great work! It’s a great site! great site love the zep stuff absolutely brillaint website. Very informative and highly reccommended. p.s;- is there anyone out there that can do a review of the Whitesnake- Stormbringer Tarantura? Once again a stunning series of new reviews for Led Zeppelin on 4/7/10 - wow, what an effort! Thanks! Hi TJS. The series of reviews for Zeppelin et al on 4/5 to 4/7 are old reviews just reposted. They were lost while doing maintanence. I decided to just post them as new instead of figuring out where to back stamp them. It is a nice to revisit these old articles though. The master is too modest - yes I noticed that these were oldies but some times it is worthwhile to look back! Thanks again! A very informative site the information provided here is most welcome.It is a minefield out there guidance on a particular cd is vital to avoid endless head scratching and hair loss great site. KEEP ROCKING from a serious and fanatical music collector. I wasn’t sure where to post this question… Does anybody have an online inexpensive source for CD jewel cases? In particular I am looking for slim (not the fat boy type) double jewel cases with hinges on the center tray the hold the discs. Where the center part that is actually two prices. The part that is ‘connected’ to the case stays still so the tray inlay artwork doesn’t doesn’t get damaged. to lug_nutz6, as for the kind of slim double cd jewel cases that you need, dlee recommended to me a few years ago sleeve city or sleeve town of memphis, tennessee, as they have the exact kind you want….. lug_nutz, supermediastore.com. Thank you Careful Axeman Eugene and eric99 for the information. I think Sleeve Town is the winner… I have a Led Zeppelin cd titled ‘California ‘69′ on the Lemon Song label. I know it is Japanese in origin. Can anyone shed any light on this cd as to how many were made and whether it is a rare item? I have been unable to find very much information on this cd and would be grateful for your assistance. According to the Illustrated Collector’s Guide To Led Zeppelin (CD Edition Volume Two) by Robert Godwin, there is no mention of it being rare; but that doesn’t mean it’s not. I’ve never seen it during all my years of collecting. I’m sure it would fetch quite a few bucks on Ebay, but of course, most unauthorized live Zep gets shut down on Ebay pretty quickly. (depends how you word them!) Thanks for the information you are right about ebay certain words do bring up warnings about certain cds. Thanks again Keep rocking good collecting to you all. ‘California ‘69′ on the Lemon Song label has been upgraded by Empress Valley and Scorpio labels. For those that don’t know about these releases, they cover the January 12, 1969 Fillmore West show. It’s not a great recording on either of these titles however quite listenable considering the limited recording equipment available in 1969. “Lemon Song” releases are indeed of Japanese origin and I rarely see them being offered these days. I have no idea how many copies were pressed however there are completest like myself who have to have everything regardless if there’s upgrades available Sorry the comment area are closed |
