Yup.
Other stuff too. The original RS Record Guide (Red) had photos of the Five Star Albums scattered throughout. such as the flag that was original cover of There's A Riot Goin' On.

I think I have 10% of the records I would need to have to complete a vague personal canon (plus I have lots of stuff that would not fit within this anyway). I have been buying records for about 25 years. So the remaining 90% - assuming I don't slow down for boring adult reasons - would only take me up to the year 2240. Given advances in cybergenetics, that sounds doable. However, by the time I'm midway through my third century, it will be about five times as long as it is now since the birth of rock and roll. Assuming a steady rate of 5-star releases, I may be on a hiding to nothing.

B-b-but what record guide is that based on?

The Complete Betelgeuse Record Guide, 7th Edition. They have a *very* short Earth section, but I couldn't find copies of anything else they listed.

Think Andrew should reveal album titles one by one and see who can guess the guide.

that book was my bible for a long time, and every one of those photos was a holy grail.

Mine, too. Studied it just as much as any other text freshman year.
Should he phone him and ask? or even get an interview?Sure, but please be gentle. Send in Ned, maybe.

Oddly, I didn't care much about the Rolling Stone guide growing up. This, though, I wore out:
