Explore the full output of a record label, review individual releases, and check collector values across the catalog. Use `label_catalog`, `release_details`, and `price_guide` to map the label's output. ChatGPT is a good fit when you want the catalog formatted as a readable guide with value highlights and a clean structure for reference.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Record Collector tool:

  1. Specify the label and any filters: format, year range, country, or catalog number series.
  2. Use `record-collector` to run `label_catalog`, then `release_details` and `price_guide` on the notable releases.
  3. Have ChatGPT format the results as a label guide with catalog number, artist, title, year, and estimated value for each release.
  4. Use the formatted guide for crate digging, want list building, or collection planning.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Record Collector tool
Use record-collector to browse the Stax Records catalog. Run label_catalog, then release_details and price_guide on the 1960s and 1970s originals. Format the output as a collector's guide sorted by catalog number with value estimates.

Tips

  • Ask ChatGPT to sort by catalog number so you can see the label's chronological output at a glance.
  • Request a separate section for the top 10 most valuable releases so the highlights are easy to find.
