About This Book

The Complete Guide to Vintage Children's Records: Identification & Value Guide
My long-awaited 432 page reference book represents a first of its kind: an almost complete listing and price guide to vintage children's records. Though the content is mainly dedicated to 78rpm records, a few early 45rpms are included. This book attempts to cover all 78rpm kiddie records made in the United States. The dates of coverage range from the 1890s to the 1960s, with most of the listings being from the 1940s and 1950s, the period of time that I refer to as the 'Golden Age' of children's records. In addition to brief background notes and histories of hundreds of obscure as well as famous record companies, there are listings for nearly 14,000 records and 450 record labels, making this the most complete discography of its kind ever in print. Most entries have never been listed in a reference book. There are hundreds of color images, many never before seen by collectors. Values are stated in two condition categories: excellent/mint and good/very good. AVAILABLE NOW!

Midwest Book Review, June 9, 2007 Peter Muldavin's COMPLETE GUIDE TO VINTAGE CHILDREN'S RECORDS provides a catalog of values paired with color photos for almost 13,000 records on over 450 labels. Many entries are unique to this reference, which offers a nearly complete listing of vintage children's records, primarily in the 78 RPM and early 45 RPM formats. The comprehensive coverage for nearly all 78 RPMs in the USA can't be beat.
