Tom in RI Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I ran across 4 volumes of Down Beat's Record Reviews yesterday, volumes V - VIII (1961-1964). I am not finding much info in a short online search other than that there is a Volume V available at Amazon for $50. Does $50/volume seem reasonable or can these be typically found for less? In the same stack I saw a copy of Hendersonia, does anyone know if that book was issued with a dust jacket (there isn't one on the book)? Thanks.

No idea about the "value" but I enjoy dipping it to them over the years. Hendersonia came without a dust cover and is worth whatever you dare pay. Edit to say an Amazon seller has one with a dust cover. I ordered mine directly from Allen and it came without.

Big Beat Steve Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Tom in RI, if you really want them then grab'em if you can! It would be nothing short of sheer luck if you got them for MUCH less than 50$ these days. I have Vols. 1 to 5 (1 to 4 as paperbacks, Vol. 5 as a hardback) of which I bought most through eBay (and 1 or 2 from Ron Rambach) a couple of years back but it did take a lot of searching and watching and being outbid. I think my average winning bids for each of these was not all that much less than $50 even back then (and I did NOT jump at the first one that came up).

My copy of Hendersonia, purchased from a used music store, also came without a dust jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom in RI Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks all for the feedback. I did pick up the 4 volumes of DB Record Reviews and also ended up with Hendersonia although I will be passing that along to a friend. Now, where can I find volumes 1-4....

Stereojack Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I bought my copy of Hendersonia from Walter Allen's widow about 30 years ago. There was no dust jacket. It's essential for any Henderson fan - extremely well researched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
