There are price guides, and then there is Hans Pokora. Since the late nineties, his Record Collector Dreams series has been the secret handbook passed between the most obsessive diggers on the planet, the reference you reach for when a sleeve you have never seen surfaces and you need to know exactly what you are holding. This is the complete set: ten hardcover volumes, from 1001 through 10001 Record Collector Dreams, each one a different and exclusive window onto the rarest and most expensive collectable albums ever pressed. Over a thousand professional colour photographs per book of the rarest 60s, 70s and 80s sleeves from every corner of the world, the cream of folk, psychedelic, progressive, garage and beat, with accurate notes on origin, label, value and rarity.

The rarest releases from Austria to New Zealand sit beside obscure treasures from Turkey, Greece, South Korea, Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Iceland, Australia and South Africa. Printed on high quality glossy paper, 9 x 12 inch hardcover, roughly 128 pages each, all in strictly limited editions. The closing volume, 10001, carries an extra 36-page index covering its own contents and those of every book that came before it. Compiled by a collector for collectors, these are mandatory reference books for anyone serious about rare records, and close to a perfect gift for your digging friends, your partner, or yourself. Some titles are very near to running out, so do not sit on this one. The full set of ten is available while stocks last, at a special price, and we ship fast.
