A GREAT SELECTION OF SITES
FOR MUSIC LOVERS & COLLECTORS.
Absolutely SUPERB site masterminded
and supervised by Alain Nicolas.
This is, by a mile, the best site devoted to those fabulous Alton &
Rabon Delmore.
Brilliantly designed and documented, it is not to be missed.
Another site well worth exploring if you like Ral who was not simply
Chicago's Elvis Presley.
He gradually found his own identity and later records are just as great
as the early ones.
Terry Wilson is always at the helm - and that's alright with me !!
When you're into Rock'n'Roll, you HAVE to read Goldmine !! This bi-monthly magazine, established in 1974, is still packed with
stories, interviews and discographies on everybody from Bill Haley to Grace Slick to Marshall Crenshaw
- and full of ads to help you waste your money on old plastic and new
shiny !! Of course, they'll long been online and have an excellent newsletter.
John Tefteller is THER top
dealer in rare, original records from the '30s to the '70s - 45's, 78's
and LPs. He runs private auctions every month. Used to write a monthly
column for 'Discoveries' and advertised in 'Goldmine' for quite a while.
His colorful site is quite nice (check out his 'Museum Quality' pieces
!) and he has launched a new one, essentially dedicated to pre-war Blues
(BluesImages.com).
From New-York, they've been in operation for decades and continue to
provide collectors with some of the best pieces of vinyl around. Their
site is full of goodies and very easy to navigate. An
absolute must for vinyl hounds !! CDs and sheet music are available,
too. Frankly, this is the one of the best sites on the Web for hardcore collectors
of virtually every musical genre of interest. Run by the mightily knowledgeable Lou Sivani whose book, 'Collecting Rare Records', is a must
.
