This is the Reference Checks buy list: the publication’s record of reference picks, one row per title, built from the same verified record the editions are built on. 61 titles as of 08-19-2026.
Picks are the reference editions as of each verdict date, roughly May to August 2026. Audiophile pressings sell out and repress, and a few digital picks are already out of print, flagged inline. Confirm grading condition before you buy. If a new pressing is released and has evidence to change the reference position, the list will be updated and shared via NOTES. Where an edition of Reference Checks covers a title, the full evidence chain is in that edition, free at referencechecks.fm. All of these titles eventually will have their own edition.
The Buy List is free. Subscribe and read the verdicts.
