Rarity Ratings

A rarity rating scheme used in the discography to try and give an idea of the collectability of each record. The rating is devised from a number of parameters, including price, scarcity and general interestingness. It is, of course, just my opinion and "what you like to collect" is a far more important criterion.

The rating categories are as follows:

The bootleg discography breaks down as follows...

  1. unrated (34 entries)
  2. common (42 entries)
  3. average (92 entries)
  4. uncommon (83 entries)
  5. scarce (52 entries)
  6. rare (24 entries)
  7. megarare (8 entries)
  8. impossible (3 entries)
Remember, mint and excellent mean there should be barely any deterioration in condition. Prices should always be adjusted accordingly for poorer condition records.
