Collectors' Choice Music
Collectors' Choice Music (CCM) is an Itasca, Illinois-based record label and retailer of music on CD. Originally the company was primarily in two businesses, but since 2010 only in the second.[1][2]
CCM was best known for reissuing albums originally released in
LP record form as compact discs.[3] As of 2006[update], its catalog had reached over 600 titles[4] and by 2009 it had issued around 60 new titles a year.[5] Its own releases were also sold through all other online dealers that sell CDs. By the end of 2010, however, Collectors' Choice had stopped releasing recordings.[1]
CCM's second business line is the sale of
cassettes), both those it has produced and others falling under their emphasis on rare and exotic titles. The company originated in 1993 with a print catalog,[5] which is still maintained as of 2019,[2] although it now encourages people to order online.[3] Both the print and online store offered their own and other rereleases and rare titles, with over 250,000 titles[5] available. By 2019, the rare titles and rereleases by others dominated, and some of CCM's pre-2011 rereleases were out of print.[1][2]
