Collectors Music Reviews

Collectors Music Reviews is unique. 

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:

1. Sign up as a subscriber.  There is no cost involved for registration (in fact, there is no cost for anything on this site except your attention).  You will find the registration promp on the right hand side.  Once you register you will have full access to all of the news, reviews, and editorials.  You will also have the opportunity to leave your own ratings and comments on releases.  To prevent spam and abuse, all comments are moderated by the administrators.   

2. Once you register, sign up to have the daily updates sent to you by email.  You will find the registration on the upper right hand side.  Or click here.  You will receive an email every morning with the new articles posted from the previous day.  If there are no updates (which rarely happens), then you will not receive an email.

3. Updates are posted on the “News And Updates” link to the upper left hand side.  That should be the first page you visit each time.

4. We not charge a fee to access the reviews on this site.  We do suggest donations to keep us going and the suggested donation amounts are less than the price of one bad bootleg review. 

5. If you have any suggestions or questions, please send us an email. 

6. Remember that this is what we do for fun.  We are not professionals.  You will find typoes, grammatical errors and factual mistakes from time to time.  If you find an error, just relax!  Send us an email and we’ll correct it.
