[Publib] Requesting help selecting music CDs

[Lise Chlebanowski]

John,

 

The last time I started a music collection I used a book called "MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide" by Gary Graff - although it's ten years old now it would be a good resource for classic rock selections. HTH>

Subject: [Publib] Requesting help selecting music CDs

 

Dear Publib,

I have been tasked with ordering a substantial amount of new CDs for our music collection (about $4000).  Our collection contains several hundred discs, but many are duplicates, significantly lessening the number of actual titles.  I'm trying to order not only a good sampling of the best rock and pop, but also classical and Spanish-language music.  Are there any selection lists that have been developed for this purpose?  Or can any of you suggest resources that I might consult?  I am working hard to order items that will be the most well-received, not only titles with which I am familiar.

Sincerely,
John Reid
