Record Collector Magazine

In 2011 English monthly music magazine Record Collector magazine started a label, ran by Ian Shirley, offering to readers rare and obscure releases / reissues on limited edition 180g vinyl. The magazine itself started in September 1979, focusing on discographies and record collectability. In 1987 it published its first standalone guide: the Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG). Famous for being "serious about music", the magazine and the RRPG are a worldwide reference among collectors and dealers. In 2010 The Rare Record Price Guide went online as a database.
