Spiral Classics - Links to Information on Audiophile Records, etc

Links to hi-fi and music sites that I hope you will find useful:

Stephen Harper of Audio Consultants supplied my main Hi-Fi system. I highly recommend him for the high quality audio equipment he stocks, and his very helpful and knowledgeable service.

Classique Sounds of Leicester supplied the Garrard 401 I use in my office. Paul Greenfield is very knowledgeable about vintage hi-fi and can ship equipment worldwide.

I use a Keith Monks record cleaning machine and can highly recommend the machine. Customers in the USA or Canada can obtain them from Audio Restoration. Graham Newton is enormously knowledgable about the machines and very helpful.

I find Ron Penndorf's Labelography immensely useful for its pictures of labels of US issued LPs, such as Columbia, RCA, Mercury, London. It includes detailed descriptions so that you can see which is the original label for a particular issue.

MusicWeb International is full of fascinating articles about music & musicians.

The site for Gramophone, the world-famous magazine of classical music on record, has a superb open access archive of reviews going back to 1923.

The magazine Classic Recordings Quarterly (formerly Classic Record Collector) is the best place for articles about historic recordings & reviews of CD re-issues. There are some interesting articles and discographies on their website.

Jazz collectors will find Jazz House Records in Leicester an excellent source of second hand vinyl records and new CDs.
