In my OCD, I've bought a lot of old records.As a newbie, I don't know much about them but when I looked, there was no date on them. Is there a way to tell the age by the stamp on it? Any other way?
Try Discogs. Make sure you have the Matrix / Runout numbers (in the deadwax) for each LP in question as this will help in pinpointing which release it could be as there can be many.
OK the label information is usually found at the record company site or there are internet resources that would supply the info about record label release years. Also discogs.com can often have a release year information of a particular album if found and if there.
I think it's important to read the right blogs for a broader outlook. For example bagnolodipo.com there are many articles on this topic. This blog helped me to understand many issues.
