An avid collector of recorded music since 1960, Jerry Osborne has also worked full-time as an author of record price guides and reference books since 1975.
From the first "Record Collector's Price Guide" (1976) to present, Jerry's published works now number over 230 books, plus at least 150 periodicals (magazines newsletters, reports, etc.). As busy as ever, he still produces new books regularly.
One of his most recent adventures is his weekly radio shows on KPTZ-FM: "Jerry Osborne's Vinyl Village" is heard each week at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, and "Class Reunion" runs at 2 p.m. on Sundays, with one hour to the music of one specific year, or theme (which could be anything). Click here for more about his unique programs, and listen to some previous shows"
Jerry has, since 1986, written the popular, weekly newspaper feature, "Mr. Music." Distributed to papers originally by World Features Syndicate, and more recently for Gannett, the column answers readers' questions about music and records. Besides our own site, Jerry's column is or was featured, mirrored, or linked by "Cash Box"; "Record World"; "Vinyl Village"; "Digital Dream Door"; Gannett Newspapers & Information Network; plus many other sites and publications.
He founded and published three collectors news and marketplace magazines: "Record Digest," "Music World" and "DISCoveries." In the '80s, he published "The Osborne Report," a monthly newsletter covering new releases.
His influence and involvement in record collecting has been chronicled in virtually every major magazine and newspaper in the country: "Reader's Digest"; "The Wall Street Journal"; "USA Today"; "People Magazine"; "Esquire"; "TV Guide"; "Oui"; "National Enquirer"; "Money"; "Changing Times"; "Photoplay"; "High Fidelity"; "Billboard"; "Cash Box"; "Music City News"; "Collectibles"; "Kiplinger's"; "Southwest Spirit"; "Woman's Day" and "Rolling Stone" — just to name a few.
Jerry has been a frequent guest on major radio and TV talk shows, discussing music and the record collecting hobby. Among these are: "Good Morning America"; "Today Show"; "The Nashville Network"; and "Backstage Live."
He served as a technical advisor and music consultant for shows like ABC-TV's "The Century" and "Our World"; CBS-TV's "West 57th Street"; MSNBC's "Headliners & Legends with Matt Lauer"; CNN's Larry King Show; and HBO.
CNN (and reporter Michael Okwu) profiled Jerry on their prime-time "CNN NewsStand" in October 1999.
It was Osborne they asked to write the Introduction for "The Archives of Graceland (The Official Auction Catalogue)." In it, he and Sun Records founder Sam Phillips are named as "Distinguished Contributors." Considering they had their pick of top writers and chose Jerry reflects the respect he has earned.
Speaking of Sun Records, Jerry conceived and produced the last five vinyl albums ever made by this legendary label, and they are the five volumes in his "Rockin' Records" series.
In January 1999, the hobby honored Osborne by naming him "Pop Collectibles Author of the Year 1998," and in 2011, he received the U.S. Commerce Association's "Best Of Commercial & Literary Writings" award.
In 2007, The Hit Parade Hall of Fame invited Jerry to be one of the Charter Members of their Nominating Committee. Of course he accepted.
Osborne was chosen to be a charter member of the Album Cover Hall of Fame, founded in 2010 to honor deserving album cover art and design.
Also an accomplished emcee, Jerry has managed shows with virtually all of the top stars of the '50s, '60s and '70s. He hosted Dick Clark's "Caravan of Stars" in the mid-'60s and has, since its inception in 1990, emceed many "Good Rockin' Tonight" all-star extravaganzas in Memphis, Tennessee.
Jerry has written the liner notes for countless releases, and has conceived and produced dozens of albums and CDs. He still works closely with Varèse Sarabande as well as Big Fish Records.
Clearly, no one person has been more responsible — directly or indirectly — for the amazing growth of the music collecting hobby.
